A trip to Swanage in March

Beautiful weather in Swanage, Dorset, UK this weekend.  Saturday was Sunny all day and Sunday was wonderfully windy.   Great to be at the sea side. 

No need for the life boats fortunately

A great view towards "Old Harry" rocks, Handfast point in the distance, looking down the lifeboat ramp. Many lifeboat callouts over the years, below.

Choppy waters leading out to the pier

Lamp posts pointing to "Old Harry"

Even the pigeon was staying indoors, much to windy. 

Where to next? Peveril point I think first and then the steam trains later...

Sunny but very windy and feeling like it should be raining

In the far distance is the Isle of White

Old WW2 gun emplacements reclaimed by the sea

Remains of the 4" gun battery base, below

And another 4" gun and observation and control post

View out to Durlston Castle on the headland, below

The view back into Swanage with the lifeboat ramp and then the pier in the distance view

Steam trains [and some beach huts]!
