Weekend in Dorset
2-4 September 2011
My cousin gave us gift vouchers to go Zorbing in Dorset so we hired a car and left London on a Friday evening.
We spent the weekend camping and driving around the area stopping off at beautiful beaches and vantage points. Knowing that summer was drawing to a close we made the most of the warm weather and had an amazing swim in the sea near Durdle Door.
On the Sunday morning we took off to the farm that host the zorbing and got rolled down a hill. They offer two zorbing options, the harness or aqua options, fortunately we could do both so we did the harness first. You get strapped into a seat and then take off facing each other as you roll head over feet or feet over head all the way down the hill. The aqua option was much better. They add some water to the inflated ball and as you roll down the hill you slip and slide as if you were on a water slide. It was loads of fun.
We took a brief stroll around Dorchester before making our way to Lulworth Cove for lunch and a final swim before heading back to the big smoke.
