The Walk
It was a nice day for a walk, not too warm and yet not cold. We drove the cars to Child Okeford, parked in a layby at the far end of the village and then walked over Hambledon Hill. Some of us recalled a similar walk led by Michael when we had to drag ourselves up a steep hillside. This walk was a little more gentle, with a slow crawl up a relatively easy track. From the top of the hill the views were magnificent. We walked around the hill fort on the summit and then went on down to the pub in Shroton village, otherwise known as Iwerne Courtney.
After lunch, we followed a level track around the base of Hambledon Hill back to Child Okeford. By now the weather was becoming warmer but still on the right side of cool.The Walk

The day ended with tea and cream doughnuts, courtesy of Diane.
The Pub
The Cricketer's, Shroton. The atmosphere here was very pleasant. The main menu was expensive, but we all opted for a Credit Crunch special with a main course at £5. Some had fish and chips, some had ham and eggs and Tony opted for pan fried liver and bacon. No one was disappointed. Diane even gave the coffee her seal of approval.
