To Corfe Castle and back

Now into February the 2nd to be precise and it's a bright sunny day and unsurprisingly a bit chilly but not a day to be wasted so we set off for Corfe Castle via Upton and Wareham.

A brief comfort break at Wareham Quay then onto Corfe Castle where we stop for drinks and an Eccles Cake.
Now it's time to tackle the climb out of Corfe onto the Purbecks and back to the Chain Ferry. Well what a climb, tougher than both of us expected but we made it to the viewing point by the golf course and once we had recovered enjoyed the view back across Poole Harbour and towards home. Although a lovely view it was a stark reminder that we had a fair distance to go before we could put our feet up.

Now for the best bit the descent to the chain ferry no effort required just hold your nerve as you plummet downhill! At the ferry join the other cyclists as you wait for the ferry and then once at the other side the climb away from the harbour and on to home.


A lovely day out, some challenging climbs and a decision made that we need to find a club to cycle with.
