10.8 miles from Evershot, Dorset, on 26 February 2015
These are a few photos from a 10.8 mile walk with South Dorset Ramblers on 25 February from Evershot in Dorset (thanks Mike).
The weather was overcast and drizzly at the start but the cloud thinned until lunch when we basked in sunshine. It didn't last long and cloud rolled in again during the afternoon but it remained mostly dry. The main feature of the weather was the temperature - up to about 14 degrees - much warmer than recently.

One of the interesting farm buildings in Chetnole. Note the dovecote on the end elevation.
It was at a farm in Chetnole in 1774 that Benjamin Jesty, living nearby at Yetminster, first introduced cowpox serum into scratches that he had made on the arms of his wife and two sons, thereby inoculating them against smallpox (I wonder how they felt about that?).
