I had the privilege of leading the Studlands Rocks walk at the Purbeck festival this year. Assisted by local historian Peter Boyce, we visited Studland, Old Harry and Fort Henry, a WW2 bunker used by Churchill and Eisenhower to view practice for D-Day. A stunning walk shared with a great group of WALXers!
