We will walk to Mupe Bay and the Fossil Forest taking the coast path above Lulworth Cove avoiding the significant landslide that has impeded beach access.
Full details will be issued to those wishing to join this great trip.
I will be seeking a willing volunteer to write up the trip for the DGAG newsletter and thank you very much if you are able to do this for the benefit of all.
