A walk from Cranborne

The Walk
Owing to depleted numbers (1 person indisposed, 1 late riser, 2 not meeting us until lunch time) we rescheduled the meeting time to go straight for lunch. It was a chilly, grey, damp day, we met at the Sheath of Arrows in Cranborne for lunch. Lunch took a long time to arrive but was very good. It started to rain, it was a fine drizzle so we decided to walk along the River Crane, this is a winterborne chalk stream which was in full flow. The last time we walked this way the stream had dried up. On reaching the road we watched a tractor ploughing up the field which had the footpath crossing it. We turned back and walked along the side of the playing field. We crossed the road and did a detour around the back of the village and visited the Church, Snowdrops were out near the church. Inside the church we discovered that John Tregonwell and his family were commemorated there, John Tregonwell has been credited as the founder of Bournemouth. We then went back to Tony and Beatrice's and had Luscious Lemon cake and tea.
The Pub
The Sheaf of Arrows, this is very much an old style pub, mostly men of the village partaking of pints of ale and having a good old gossip and a game of pool. The food was good (a Seniors Menu - 1course £4.95, 2 courses £6.95) but I think each meal was created individually as Sue had finished her lunch bfore some of us had been served.
Next Week
Meet at Tony and Beatrice's for a walk from Woodlands to Drusillas.
