Work continues on the artifical surf reef at Boscombe, on Dorset's coast, while budding surfers receive tuition on the art in dedicated schools (top image) that have been set up by enterprising individuals, giving practical advice to those intending to take advantage of the facilities once up and running.
Then it was further on west to Poole harbour and Sandbanks. I hadn't intended to cross on the ferry to Studland, but once there I was spurred on by the good weather - plus the knowledge that the forecast for tomorrow is less than favourable.
Again taking the Rempstone Trail, this time I pay a visit to Wytch Farm oil field with its "nodding donkey" beam pumps (bottom image). The installation, operated by BP, is the largest onshore oil field in western Europe, and is discretely hidden in forest on Wytch Heath on the southern side of Poole harbour.
