Early morning train to Dorchester for a mini cycle tour of Purbeck.
In the wheel tracks of Thomas Hardy & Lawrence of Arabia.
It turns out that both were keen long distance cyclists as well as being friends who lived fairly close to each other later in life.
Hardy once hurt himself in a spill while cycling between Bristol & Bath on one of his many rides.
Lawrence did cycle tours of Norfolk as a boy and France as an adult amongst other things.
It is said that these trips exploring churches and medieval castles sparked a lifelong interest in ancient artefacts.
It was while studying archealogy at Oxford it is rumoured that Lawrence was recruited by MI5...
(wandering around the Middle East with a camera & asking questions was probably a pretty good cover!)
Hopefully an evening beach bivi camp somewhere quiet on the Jurassic coast.
