The Wednesday Walk 10th December 2008




The Plan
We will meet at Whitecliff for a walk into Poole. Note that the meeting time will be 10.30 for this walk.

The Leader
Wendy

Who Turned Up
Wendy, Trudy, Beatrice, Tony and David.
The Walk
One again, the met men have done us proud. We had another crystal clear day. The air was cold, but invigorating, and the sky was devoid of cloud.
We met at the Whitecliff car park and then walked along the harbour-side path to Poole Quay. We stopped for a photograph at the new Baden Powell memorial statue on the quay. B-P set up the first boy scout camp on nearby Brownsea island, the largest island in Poole Harbour.
A wander up the High Street took us to The Real China restaurant. Beatrice did well for her first walk since her accident, keeping up with the group all the way to the restaurant.
After lunch, we walked through Poole Park on our way back to Whitecliff. Once again, it was sunny and clear, but still a little cold. All-in-all, it was a very pleasant walk: not too demanding, but good for our constitutions.

The Pub
Not a pub, today. We ate at the Real China Restaurant where the offer is: as much as you can eat for £5.95. David did not find a pie but he went back for a second helping so it couldn't ahve been bad. The food here has the look of real Chinese food but it tastes infinitely better.
