Who Turned Up

The Walk
The morning started a little chilly, but it was dry and bright. We met a Whitecliff car park and walked along the shore to Poole Quay. Three people decided to avail themsleves of the exercise machinery in the park. Whether that was a good idea remains to be seen. About the same time we saw the sail training ship, Royalist, putting to sea. A little farther on we found the viewing area for the new Twin Sails bridge across the Holes Bay narrows. It was the first chance we had had to see how work is progressing. Hopefully, it will be completed before the start of the olympic games next year. We then walked back to the quay and chose The Antelope for our lunch. A quick phone call to Trudy B helped her to join us for the second half of the day.
After lunch we walked up through the town and then down through the park on our way back to Whitecliff. Overall, a very pleasant and relaxing walk, level throughout and not too long.
The Pub
The Antelope at the lower end of the High Street. It was the first time we had patronised this pub and first impressions were favourable. Most of us had the 'Two Meals for £9.95' deal which turned out to be good value. Even the coffee was declared to be "Not bad" which is the same as saying it was pretty good.
Next Week
Diane's birthday tea at Corfe.
