The Plan
Meet at Upton Park and walk to Broadstone.
The Leader
Wendy
Who Turned Up
Wendy, Sue, Trudy, Ros, Beatrice, Trisha and David
The Walk
This was more of an urban walk than our usual rural jaunts, but a good exercise for all that. We left our cars at the Upton Country Park car park and set off towards Creekmoor. The route took us around the Creekmoor Ponds, along with a couple of exploratory detours, and then through the Creekmoor housing estate until we came to the old Roman Road. Then we followed the straight path up to the top end of Broadstone. The town's charity shops were visited before and after lunch and the general opinion was that Broadstone must be doing well if the charity shops are full of quality goods. After lunch we headed back to the Roman Road and this time we continued out onto the heath, following the line of the old S&D railway. All in all, a good walk which was different to our normal style.
The Pub
The Stepping Stones at Broadstone. This was a new eating place for us and turned out to be good value for money. Several walkers had the 'two courses for £5.95' deal which went down well. Naturally, one person had to try the steak and ale pie, which also turned out to be nicely cooked.
Next Week
Meet at Wendy's at the usual time.
Plan A - Arne.
Plan B (if wet) - Swanage.
