Between Lyme Regis and Charmouth, extensive landslips have diverted the coast path inland by a kilometre or so. Knowledge of a further diversion east of Charmouth kept me from the seafront in the village, instead taking me up Stonebarrow Lane to rejoin the clifftop somewhere beyond Westhay Farm.

These early miles aside, the day followed the cliff closely, rolling over some more strenuous climbs.
