A leisure cycle ride along the Bournemouth Coast to Southbourne, Hengistbury Head and ending at the tip of Mudeford Sandbank in the county of Dorset, England.
This ride is day two of my Bournemouth Coastline cycle rides. Originally the weather forecast had shown that Bournemouth would miss the storms that were due to cross the south west of England and Wales but late evening on Day One the forecast had changed as the storm was going to clip Bournemouth.
Waking in the hotel on my final day, packing up my cycle bag with my clothes and toiletries ready to checkout I looked out of the bedroom window to see grey skies and later on when having breakfast on Bournemouth seafront feeling little spots of fine rain on my face now and then. The hope would be that I would out run the rain as I progressed leisurely along the coast.
And that was exactly what happened. The temperature was still summer warm despite the incoming weather. Of course what you mostly don’t see after the end of my ride was my return to Bournemouth where I had a few hours to wander around town while waiting for my train.
The rain set in and basically I got wet, soaked through. But I wandered around smiling through the rain and not worrying too much about it. I had a change of clothes in my dry bag for the trip home. When the rain really set in and it was, simply, pouring down I headed to the station early and got changed. All was good.
I hope you enjoy this conclusion to my, technically, three day trip to Bournemouth in Dorset, England. Day One was amazing and adding the Steam Train ride in as well as the Ferry made this a very special cycle trip.
This film contains two brand new songs, Fix My Heart for the end credits and also the silly beachy mock jazz song, Jazz Masquerade.
I also want to thank everyone who has subscribed to date. When I got back home on this day the subscriber counter clicked over to 500. What a cherry-on-the-cake moment that was.

I suppose it wouldn't be the British seaside if it didn't rain! Very nice to watch, though, thank you.
