Day 22 Monday 20th September
After breakfast I left the hostel with my room-mate Gary at 8.40 a.m. We set off up the hill to the highest point on Portland. Gary decided to take the west side of the island and I went to the left to the east side. 9.30. I passed the Verne Prison, then diagonally across an old quarry and on the seaward side of the Young Offenders Prison, arriving at Church Ope Cove at 10.05. Then continued along the path which meandered through various old quarry workings, arriving at Portland Bill 11.05. At 12.30 met Jenny, Ralph and Terri for lunch at the Lobster Pot Cafe. Parted company about 2.00 and I set off up the west coast of Portland, completing the loop at about 3.00. By 3.30 I was back at the hostel, where I shall chill out for the rest of the day. Distance today 10 miles.

Hi Dudley, sorry didnt get a chance to shake your hand this morning as you left the YHA - you seemed in such a rush!! It was great to meet you, and share (a very small) part of your walk with you. Hope it all goes well to the end - watch out for those blisters - Gary (YHA Room mate at Portland)
