The Wednesday Walk 13th July 2011




The Plan
Corfe to Kingston

The Leader
Trish

Who Turned Up
Trish, Sue, Wendy, Trudy, Trudy2, Beatrice, Tony and Diane

The Walk
We set of from the base of the castle to walk over the heath towards Kingston, admiring wild flowers and butterflies on the way. The church at Kingston was always on the skyline making it seem enticingly nearer than it actually was. Up and down we went slowly nearing the village where our lunch stop awaited. After lunch Trudy offered to lead us back another way which took us further East on the edge of the heath. We passed a farm that had enterprisingly put out books for sale. Several books were purchased with the proceeds being donated to charity. Our way took us through the village of Corfe which was very busy despite the fact school holidays had not started yet. We rounded the day off at Sue's for tea and the most delicious homemade chocolate cake.

The Pub
The Scot Arms at kingston had a good light bite menu but a trifle more expensive than we are used to, just as well the pie eater was missing. We all paid about £5-6 for our lunch plus drinks. The coffee however was reasonable at £1.75. The service was prompt and helpful.

Next week
Meet at Wendy's 9.30 for a walk near Portland
