BOC is running a coach trip to Dorset to walk 5 - 6 miles along the coast from Worth Matravers to Durlston Country Park, Swanage. Delights include wonderful views, orchids and downland flora, a breeding auk colony, and bushy valleys full of winding paths. We hope to see Yellowhammer, Dartford Warbler, Peregrine and possible migrants. Leaving the Water Tower on the Downs at 08:00 hrs. The return journey will leave Durlston at 17:00 hrs. Cost £18.
