A Tale of Two Hardys
Tuesday 18th August was promising to be a nice day and so it turned out to be when I rode around Dorset. Dorset's my home county and I know it well but any excuse for a ride. My route started at my home town of Wimborne and went anti clockwise around Dorset to finish back at Wimborne. For those of you that don't know Dorset, it has quite an interesting coastline with the World Heritage Site that is the Jurassic Coast, Chesil Beach, the Ilse of Portland, Poole Harbour and several holiday towns like Weymouth and West Bay. It also has the Hardy boys, (the one who wrote books and the one who kissed Nelson).
I would reccommend Compton Abbas for a visit. It's a pretty little airfield perched up high above Shaftesbury. Watch the planes and scenery while having something from the nice little restaurant. My wife was born a mile away from Portland Bill so that had to be visited!
