The Walk
(Write-up by Ros)
As we set off for Fiddleford Manor car park, the clouds were very threatening so we were armed with plenty of wet weather gear! We walked through the Piddle woods to Dirty gate. As we approached Broad Oak the heavens opened and we took shelter in a community orchard small hut which explained the types of apples. There were several types of different apples and we were invited to help ourselves! They were at the peak of ripeness and very tasty. We continued on the road to the Bull at Sturminster Newton.
After lunch the rain settled in for the afternoon. We walked up through the town checking out the Railway Gardens for a possible future picnic spot. We continued along the old railway line back to Fiddleford Manor. It was quite sheltered and we didn’t get too wet.
A welcoming cup of tea and very little cake at Beatrice and Tony’s finished off a lovely but damp day.

The Pub
The Bull, Sturminster Newton. As we were all counting the calories (well most of us) the menu was varied and even Tony H opted for chicken rather than the usual faggots! The food was excellent and no pies were consumed.
