-Come along.

-Where are we going tomorrow, Keith?

-Along the coastal path.

Hope it's not raining then.

Oh, it will only be a shower,

I should think, if it is.

Probably be over by tomorrow, anyway.

How far is it along the coastal path?

-Oh, it's a few miles.

-How many miles?

Well, uh...

five or six.

Hope it's not more than

five or six, Keith.

(SEAGULLS CAWING)

KEITH:
Come along.

CANDICE MARIE:
Keith, wait for me.

CANDICE MARIE:
How far have we come?

KEITH:
Well, there we are, you can see.

We started at Kimmeridge Bay,

came along the coastal path

above the Kimmeridge Ledges

with their fingers stretching out

into the sea,

over Egmont Point, round Chapman's Pool

and here we are at St Aldhelm's Head,

sometimes known as St Alban's Head.

CANDICE MARIE:
And how much further

have we got to go?

KEITH:
Oh, not far.

Now, that's what we call

a limestone outlier.

It's made of Portland stone

as found on the Isle of Portland.

Of course, some people think that

Portland stone is only found there

but it can be found on the mainland

here and vice versa.

-Look at that boat, Keith.

-You're not listening, Candice Marie.

Hello.

-He's bought some milk, Keith.

-Yes, I know.

I'll be able to wear these tomorrow,

Keith, for climbing on the rocks.

No, boots are for hiking.

We'll wear our plimsolls

for clambering about the rocks,

our sandals on the beach

and our boots for tramping the path

in the afternoon.

CANDICE MARIE:
We can't take three types

of footwear, Keith.

KEITH:
You need the right tools

for the job.

What's he doing, Keith?

I don't know.

Probably thinks he's a geologist

or something.

How far was that walk today, Keith?

Oh, just under 1 4 miles.

CANDICE MARIE:
I hope you haven't

arranged any more as long as that.

KEITH:
Your legs will soon

get used to it.

-Ah, there we are.

-Did she sell you some, Keith?

Yes, nice lady. It's very cheap.

She said this is the only

accredited herd in the area.

CANDICE MARIE:
It's funny to think,

Keith, that milk you're holding

came out of one of those cows

only this morning.

KEITH:
Mmm. It'd be interesting to know

which one.

CANDICE MARIE:
What does it mean, Keith?

It means the road

to East and West Lulworth

via Povington Hill is closed.

Does that mean we can't go?

No, it doesn't mean that.

It just means it's spoilt the schedule.

I'd planned to take

45 minutes along that road

and now we're going to be late.

-Didn't you know it might be closed?

-No, I didn't.

Let's have a look at the map.

(KEITH SIGHING)

You've got it upside down.

You should pay attention, Candice Marie.

Well, let's go somewhere else, Keith.

We can't go somewhere else,
