dorset 08: day 1

manage to pack and get en route by 10am. Not joined by Linds, Nes and bump as the bump's not too good. raining all the way down to dorset, so have a wet drive down through the cotswolds and bath - v pretty.
arrive to a very sweet cottage in Charmouth, up a very steep hill. dinner at the mariners hotel in lyme regis. quite random: old school pub on the outside, naff 70s hotel bar to wait in, dinning room very modern restaurant with great food... odd.
our first night is finished off with a pint at the george back in charmouth
