The trip was basically an exploration trip, so I could take a few photos of what the climbing was like down there. Hence, all the photos are pictures of rock faces, and not overly interesting to look at!
This was originally meant to be a climbing trip, which turned into more of an expidition when Doug (*cough* whipped *cough*) couldn't come at the last minute. Most of the photos are from the Dancing Ledge in Dorset, which is one of the more popular crags in the Dorset/Swanage area.

Jane imparting some local knowledge and history of the area.

Looking down from the main area into the second area - this pool was blasted out by dynamite by a local farmer many years ago. He used to bring his kids down to this pool every morning for a refreshing wake up swim.

A shot along the lower climbing region. This area is covered by the sea when the tide is in.

From the edge of the lower climbing area, a look in at some of the artificial caves created by the dynamyting and quarrying that used to go on in the area.
