The Plan
Walk from Upton Country Park to Beacon Hill
The Leader
Trudy
Who Turned Up
Trudy, Sue, Wendy, Tony H, Beatrice, Tony and Diane.
The Walk
We parked in a field at Upton Country Park as it was a fun day there. We headed out of the park along a nature trail following the dual carriage way. None of us knew this particular part of the walk and it was surprisingly pretty. After passing through an estate we crossed the A35 over a footbridge and continued up through the heath. Trudy spotted a snake and managed to photograph it . Apparently it was a smooth snake. At the top we had wonderful views of the Purbecks, so we stopped for more photo shoots. We continued down the road to the Holme Bush where we stopped for lunch. The timing of this was perfect as it had come on to rain heavily and continued through the lunch. Luckily it had stopped by the time we ready to leave. On our return we took a slight detour and stopped to meet Leo and his Mum with her ponies, more photos of course. Our way back took us on a circular route through more of the heath .
The Pub
Two for £10- excellent value and a pudding for £1. Some of us couldn’t resist! Everyone enjoyed their choices-BUT NO PIES!!! Luckily, the pie-eater was absent from the walk.
