Hopefully this will work magnificently and you’ll get a sense of the route:

Many thanks to KnitNurse who pointed out the glaring hole in my stats – miles walked! This map is a reasonable approximation of the route, and Google makes it 170 miles. My feet are sulking at Google’s rather stingy assessment – they still reckon 180 miles is more likely, and would point out that Google’s world is flat and smooth, which bears little resemblance to the south west coast path cliffs.
Unresolved issues:
1. Poole to Ringwood – is there a better way or does it just have to be a bit boring?
2. St Swithun’s Way v Three Castles Way – which is the better route?
3. Chafe-free pants – do they exist or should I resign myself to the joys of vaseline?
