Weymouth

I walked from Abbotsbury to Weymouth but the weather was so dismal that I didn't take any pictures.  To make up for this oversight I have searched the web and found pictures that relate to my progress on this part of the walk.

The path at Wyke Wood

When I started to walk there was a slight drizzle but it became increasingly heavier until it was raining steadily.  I put my rain gear on before I got too wet and put the rain cover over my backpack.  Unfortunately the rain somehow managed to get into the bottom of the rain cover and create a little pool of water.  I had to keep checking and emptying the water as I went along.

Chesil Beach looking over East Fleet

The walking was easy once the path followed a route beside the Fleet lagoon which is between Chesil Beach and the mainland.  Nice and flat.

Weymouth seafront

The rain eased off as I approached Weymouth and walked along the seafront to the B&B where I was staying for the night.  Later, as I went out to look for a place to have my supper, it started to rain heavily and I was soaked.  I walked back to the restaurant only two doors down from my B&B and went in.  I can't imagine what the other customers must have thought when this wet, bedraggled individual with a shaggy beard and hiking clothes walked in and sat down for a meal.
