Trail Reviews
First we went along the beach at Bourcemouth to the sandbank and from there we took the ferry, which travels from one side to the other with two chains. The ferry takes you to the National Nature Reserve. The route leads along a quiet road to the Old Harry Rocks. The area is much nicer to explore on foot than by bike. Or if you are a mountain/gravel bike rider, then it can be a lot of fun. The quiet road became the main road and there was always a car on your tail. With the cars on your tail we then headed towards Corfe Castle, an impressive ruin. With a small old village. From the castle we then went back to less busy roads. And that's where it happened: we took a nice break in a cozy spot and unpacked the equipment bag and waxed the chain a little. All my things were nicely laid out when 5 wild boars, who had previously been rolling around in the mud, came along and wanted to eat my rain/wind gear and my tool bag. Everything was taken away from the pigs in time and without damage, but unfortunately it was smeared by the wallow. Once everything was packed up and tied up properly, we went to the last hotel on English soil for this bike tour.
