The Wednesday Walk on 6th August 2008

The Plan
We planned to meet at Diane's house for a walk to Spetisbury. Diane kindly offered to host swimming and cream teas after the walk. In the event, the walk was changed to Cranborne.

The Walk

We parked along the B3078 on the small lay-by near Mill Farm. From there we walked back to Cranborne along the path to the south of the road. Along the way we appeared to upset a field full of cows and bulls who began a loud bovine chorus. When the bulls were in a field with so many cows, why did they notice us? At Cranborne we asked a fireman where the best food was served and were told the Sheaf of Arrows pub. Four of us took up that option and had very good meals in a pleasant atmosphere, followed by good filter coffees. The other four went to the garden centre for snacks but refuse to divulge what they ate. Ve haff vays of making zem talk!!! After lunch, we walked back to the cars along a route to the north of the B3078. About half way back, Tony commented to Sue that this was the spot where she lost part of her stick on this same walk last year. Whereupon, looking down, he saw it lying in the mud...exactly where she lost it! After the walk, we went back to Diane's for a swim and cream teas (see pictures above). Thank you, Diane for hosting us so ably. A good day was enjoyed by all.

The Pub

The Sheaf of Arrows in Cranborne. The food was good, the coffee was good and we finished two crosswords. We can recommend this place for the future.
