The missing link, in guidebook terms, for the E9 route that runs between Plymouth and Dover has now been rectified thanks to Leigh Hatts (author) and Countryside Books (publisher). Exploring the Bournemouth Coast Path is the title of a new guide that covers the 37-mile stretch between Swanage and Lymington. Further details about the book can be found in Strider December 2005.
