A fabulous after work walk on the Jurassic Coast in terrific sunny weather.

Excellent coastal cliff scenery with a grand little peak to finish followed by a rural return and then a mad dash to another high point before it went dark.

We don't get this kind of walking up North (can't complain..we get loads of mountains) and it made a lovely change.

After a quiet, country return to the car park I felt I had time to add the hill in on the other side of Budleigh Salterton - again following the coast path
