The Walk
(Pictures and text by Trudy)
We parked in the woods past Kingston and made our way to Hounds Tout, a nice flat walk which normally would have given us beautiful views of the coastline. But, oh dear, as you can see the pictures tell a different story! Thick swirling fog and a cold wind is all we got. The flat walk ended abruptly and we were faced with a very steep descent at the bottom of which we all had rather wobbly legs! Further along the path we remembered another occasion when we got absolutely soaked and tried to shelter under the trees. Onward up the hill we struggled and got to Worth Matravers where we discovered that the tea rooms are still up for sale (in case anybody fancies having a go).

After lunch we headed back past Rempstone Farm, and down the hill. Then we thought we would try a different way to Kingston. Another long way up and at the top we could not find the path. The fog was thick and we were a little lost, but eventually found the lane that brought us back to the cars.
At Sue's we were treated to lovely lemon cake and bisciuts with a well deserved cuppa, than you Sue we needed that!
We saw lots of sheep, snowdrops, crocusses, daffodils and dozens of squawking crows fighting for partners and nests.

The Pub
We went to the Square and Compass, a very old pub, there was a welcoming logfire and luckily a table for all seven of us. The menu was very complex (ha ha ha) just meat pasties or cheese and veg pie and I mean really just that. No garnish or other embellishments (perhaps David had a lucky escape!!) A certain person had a pasty AND a pie oh and a Mars bar!
Next Week
Meet at Trudy's for a walk across St Catherine's Hill
