The Walk
Sorry I missed last week's walk in the rain. I was enjoying a party in warm sunshine at the time. Anyhow, today we had perfect weather for a walk. We drove to the Salisbury Park-and-Ride car park. Parking cost us nothing. We then rode on the bus into Salisbury using our free bus passes. Couldn't be better. The bus dropped us in the city centre and we walked out through the shopping mall to the River Avon and followed it as it made its was out of the city. The views were magnificent, covering the cathedral and the calm water meadows. We saw numerous swans on the river, but only two cygnets. We met a minor hiccup where a new land owner has blocked off part of the public footpath. This will need to be investigated. A small detour took us around the blockage and we walked on to Old Sarum in warm sunshine.
After lunch, our route back to the city took us along the Portway path and through the meadows until we got back to the river. From the city centre, our free bus passes took us to the Park-and-Ride car park. All-in-all, a very pleasant walk. We finished off with tea and cakes courtesy of Beatrice and Tony.
The Pub
The Harvester at Old Sarum. We have eaten here before and found it good value. Most of us had the early-bird selcetion. No pies, but no problems.
Next Week
Meet at Sue's for a Tyneham walk.
