Centre good. Bolt assumed to be at the top of the lighthouse and hence inaccessible.

Sis#2 and I accompanying Sis#1 on the final leg of her walk along the SWCP, circumnavigation of Portland. Quite an event after a 15 year project. Beautiful day, impressive lighthouse and adjacent monument, great views, lots of people out enjoying themselves, a group of very fit divers hauling their boat out of the water using the old stone winch, and even a rather heavily guarded rocket post.

well worth a trip to the top of the lighthouse. very interesting tour and the sound of the wind and size of the waves was not unusual today.

ST70 009 CENTRE and BOLT. Trig conveniently marked with its name. Bolt appears to be on balcony at top of lighthouse given its GR.
