The Plan
We will meet at The Oaks at 10am. The plan is to walk from Delph Woods to the Lambs Green. And - with sharp memories of the last time we did that walk - we will do our best not to set the pub on fire!
The Leader
Wendy
Who Turned Up
Wendy, Trudy, Ros and David (Tricia joined us for lunch)
The Walk
The snow has melted and the rain has stopped. If it were not for the flooding, we could almost be back to normal. Anyway, it was a nice sunny, if somewhat chilly, day. Just right for a winter walk.
We met at the Oaks Cafe where we had a cup of coffee. We were visited by a black cat (is that lucky?) who seemed mainly interested in the only male walker. Must be significant! We then drove to Delph Woods.

We left our cars at the far end car park and walked through the woods to the old railway track. Then we headed off through the trees towards Lambs Green. At times the going was a bit spongy underfoot, but we met only one water barrier so deep and wide that we couldn't get past. It meant a short detour, but nothing too onerous. After lunch we headed back along the more direct route to the Willett Arms. Tricia came a little way with us. From the road, we had a spectacular view of the River Stour in flood near Wimborne.
We guessed the walk ran to around six miles in total which was just enough to get our blood circulating again. A pleasant day after last week's appalling weather.
The Pub
The Lamb's Green, Corfe Mullen.
The food was good and the service was very prompt. And... can you believe it... no one tried to burn the place down!
Tricia arrived at around the same time as the walkers. She passed on some good news about Marion's health. We wish you well, Marion! We know that you keep up to date with our adventures on the blog.
