My Actifit Report Card: December 18 2025

2 months ago

My last walk took me along the stunning South West Coast Path from Weymouth to Portland. It was a crisp autumn day, perfect for exploring the beautiful coastal scenery.

As I set off, I was greeted by the sight of Weymouth's sandy beach, where families were still enjoying the mild weather. The iconic Tudor-style buildings lining the seafront added a charming touch to the landscape. I took a moment to appreciate the famous Nothe Fort, a historic coastal artillery fort that played a significant role in defending the area during the Victorian era.

Continuing along the path, I was surrounded by breathtaking views of the Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its geological significance and stunning cliffs. The chalk formations were striking against the deep blue of the English Channel, with waves crashing against the rocks below. I spotted some fossil hunters carefully examining the cliffs, hoping to find remnants of ancient sea creatures.

As I ventured further, I came across a small group of fellow walkers. One gentleman, an enthusiastic retired teacher, shared fascinating stories about the history of the area, including tales of shipwrecks and the famous Chesil Beach. It was delightful to meet someone who shared my passion for history and the outdoors.

I also noticed the vibrant wildlife along the path: seagulls soaring overhead, and I even glimpsed a few seals lounging on the rocks at Portland Bill. The lighthouse there was a striking sight, a reminder of the area's maritime history.

As I reached the end of my walk, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the stunning landscapes and the interesting people I met along the way. Walking in England offers not just beautiful scenery but also a rich tapestry of history and community. I can’t wait for my next adventure!
