The Walk
We drove to Salisbury in two cars and took the park and ride on the Ringwood road.. This proved economical as we could use our bus passes fro the ride into Salisbury. We set off from M&S and walked towards the river. We followed the 45 cycle path along the Avon and then branched onto a very pleasant footpath, which continued by the river. .There were swans and large carp to be seen together with various breeds of duck and other water fowl. The walk continue up through a path towards Old Sarum where we stopped for lunch at the Harvester. Our return journey was through fields and paths on the other side of the river. Sue stopped for some shopping at Lakeland and then we proceeded to the stop to take the bus back to our cars. Beatrice as usual provided us with an excellent tea and cakes.                    .
The Pub
Very pleasant surroundings and good service. We all ate from the Early Starter Menu which included the excellent salad plus main dish for between £5-£6.. We were all very full and couldn’t manage a pudding!!
