It's a bit of a mixed bag. Day 1 is about 5 miles longer than day 2. Day 2 also has less sketchy stuff, but watch out on the final descent from Old Harry into Swanage, past the cows on the chalky descent down the grassy hill: That's where one of my companions for the final leg two years ago washed out on a 35mm CX tyre and broke his femur. Waiting for the ambulance and the Army evac guy is how I got DFL and won a Straggler frameset.
Tamer, hah...
