The Wednesday Walk 2nd December 2009

To walk from Delph Woods to Corfe Mullen

The Leader
Wendy

Who Turned Up
Wendy, Trisha, Ros, Sue, Trudy and David

The Walk
It wasn't so much a walk as half a walk and a cold shower. We made the wise decision to position Sue's car at the Lamb's Green pub before we set off walking from Delph Woods. Very soon it started to rain and it didn't actually stop raining before we got to the pub. Okay, it wasn't too heavy by comparison to what came down later, but it was wet. Having said that, the chosen route always was a good walk and we tried to enjoy being out in the open. Nevertheless, we were all feeling a little bedraggled when we reached the pub.
As we were finishing our lunch we saw that the rain had increased from 'steady' to 'heavy'. Trish and Ros decided to chance a walk back to the Delph Woods car park while the rest of the group opted to go back in Sue's car. When we got to the pub door and saw just how heavy the rain had become, the two keen walkers decided to opt out also. That was a very wise move as the 'heavy' rain turned to 'total cloudburst' within five minutes.
Back at Wendy's we enjoyed a nice cup of tea and cakes.

The Pub
The Lamb's Green at Corfe Mullen. The food was good and the open chicken pie was judged to be well up to standard. They also had a special deal with a main course at £5.95 and a soup or sweet for an extra £2. Sadly, we didn't finish either Wendy's or Trisha's crossword. (Trisha - the answer to 1 across is Out of Range!)

Next Week
We will meet at Trudy's for a walk from Coy Pond to the shore.
