HUNDREDS took part, each of them raising money while taking in the beautiful scenery.
Leukaemia Busters Lighthouse Challenge saw groups of all ages join together at various points to walk to Lulworth Cove.
First to finish were Kate and Roger Osborne, Major Eddie Large and Captain Tom Renwick of the Royal Armoured Corps Training Squadron.
