Those meadows are a sight for sore eyes, wonderful.

This brought back memories of family camping holidays in the 80’s at Seatown. We had a big frame tent but I can see it’s mostly static caravans now. We looked forward to drinks and basket meals at the Anchor Inn and I remember walking up to the top of Golden Cap. Happy memories, thank you Dave and Logan.

I have walked that stretch of swcp several times and hats off to you as you must have doubled your uphill bits walking back each time to collect the camera!! I have never explored inland and the meadows were stunning. It is cow country though and I can remember sharing my coffee break with the cows on one occasion atop of Thorncombe beacon. Thankfully they were peacefully chewing the cud!!

I reckon that Logan & I have walked most of the section of the SWCP in Dorset now. The views along that part of the Jurassic Coast really are stunning.

Thank you Dave & Logan...I know this area well as I live these last three and a half years (from Surrey) 25 minutes away, it still looks wonderful and great with all your extra info' too (as I had forgotten some of it). No doubt you know, but there are amazing sunsets on Eype beach, sadly getting ruined with extra signs, bigger car park, so more visitors - but we are a small island, the UK, so at least more people can enjoy the area, I guess! I love Logan, an adorable companion, and I can see you love him very much - KEEP enjoying, both of you and thank you!!! for sharing - Good wishes for lovely adventures :).

Many thanks for your channel Dave. it's one of the very best I reckon.

Hi Dave, you have a rare knack of metaphorically bringing your viewers along with you. I saw several scenes that I’ve made note of for future painting subjects. The flowers clinging to the cliff at around 13 minutes might be Sea Pinks or Sea Thrift (Armeria maritima). I can’t be sure from your video so it’s just a suggestion. As always thanks for a super walk.

Thank you Dave as always. Is it better to walk backwards downhill? Walk Backwards - It may seem counterintuitive to walk backwards downhill. But stop and think about it! You are not putting your joints under undue strain or stress. The leg muscles and joints are working in the same way as when walking uphill, just in reverse. How about that? Give it a try Dave and you'll have to give Logan the same training.

I find walking downhill far tougher on the knees than walking uphill. I've not tried it backwards, though it sounds like it makes sense. It is, after all, what one does on a ladder, or on the steep steps aboard a ship etc.

Another great walk along the coast. Thanks Dave and Logan. My Grandparents had a caravan holiday in Eype in 1937. Driving from North London with a caravan on tow! Quite a feat back then (we have black and white photos of their caravan holiday in Eype)

So lovely - didn't want the video to end! I think the parking charges are a bit steep - I see they've put them all up a £1 on last year's £5 which I thought was a lot then. Alright if you're going for the day, but not if you just want a quick visit.

Thank you Angela. Sadly it seems that parking costs have gone up everywhere - I sign of the times I fear.

The usual high standard Dave, a quite superb walk, and like you say, the countryside is absolutely beautiful. I have been that way once, started at West Bay, on to Eype and Seatown , then a loop back inland to West Bay. Going west is equally beautiful up to Golden Cap, but whichever way you go it's certainly a workout for the lungs and legs! One point I'd like to raise though: being a "northerner" (Bristol) I'd contend that the SW Coast Path actually runs from Minehead to Poole. Just saying.

It certainly would Dave, I've done about 30%, all in separate stages, not in one fell swoop, it's something the younger me promised myself I'd do, alas poor health means it's unlikely to happen. Sadly. But if you did it, you'd have enough video's for a couple of years! You could then put your feet up for a while.

Loving your Dorset walks Dave! So many great ideas to get us exploring beyond the bits we're familiar with.

What a beautiful area for your walk and what a glorious day to do it. A few hills to climb as well. Seatown was strangely quiet considering the weather. Tha old sheep dip was interesting. I can't believe it's been used for many a long year. Wasn't much water in that stream to have powered a mill, but then there wasn't so much water extraction in those far off days. That pint looked very welcome.

We both love watching your videos together, even though she is in Missouri, USA, and I am in Dorset, England. Over 4000 miles apart. We both have 2 screens open, a Zoom screen, and a You Tube one, then we watch your videos together and talk about it. Jen loves everything in the UK, and in fact did you know that you inspired her to go out in her local area and make walking vlogs about the region. She lives by a famous battlefield that was a major part of the American Civil War between the north and south. If you've ever seen Clint Eastwood's fab movie 'The Outlaw Josey Wales' a lot of it was set in her locality. You might be interested to see her video here, inspired by you! 😁 Cheers!! 🍺 kzread.info/dash/bejne/oayJscxuf5OWZJs.htmlsi=tydwQirW3phuwVsi

It has changed her life and made her so happy, and she enjoys it so much. She's been practising with her new drone so soon she will capture some wider angle shots. The only downside across the pond is they don't have our pub culture, so there's no pub in every area to check the beer for research purposes only of course! 🍺😄
