The Wednesday Walk on 17th September



The Plan
We will meet at Sue's and drive to Ringstead. From there we will walk to Osmington Mills.

The Leader(s)
Trisha and Trudy

Who Turned Up
Trisha, Sue, Trudy, Beatrice, Ros and Diane

The Walk (written by Ros)
We drove to the National Trust Car Park at Ringstead. The weather was just right for walking, overcast with just a glimpse of the sun at times. We set off down the hill towards Ringstead Bay beach and couldn’t resist stopping for coffee at the kiosk. We then followed the coast path to Osmington and had lunch in the pub.
After lunch, we rejoined the coastal path and followed it all the way along to Holworth where we stopped to visit a wooden chapel called St Catherine’s fairly near the cliff. (Wendy’s favourite chapel). There were fresh flowers in there and in particular a whistler window, not unlike the windows in Moreton Church. We then continued up the hill and back to the cars.
We enjoyed a cup of tea and cake when we returned to Sue’s.

The Pub
The Smugglers Inn, Osmington. The food was good and, yes, they do a selection of pies, but David was not present to try them. An unusual touch was a bowl of free apples and oranges on the bar counter. Most of the group had one of their five-a-day.

Sorry, folks - the leaders should be Trisha and Trudy but I can't get into the post to change it
