Meet at Haskins for a local walk

Who Turned Up
Wendy, Beatrice, Sue, Trudy B, Trudy H, David (and Tony from lunchtime)
The Walk
The warm weather we enjoyed at the beginning of November has deserted us now, but at least today's weather was dry and the chilly start soon turned into a mild day. Once again, we met at Haskins Garden Centre and enjoyed tea and coffee as a precursor to the walk. We then shifted our cars to the Poor Common Lay-By. Instead of the taking the Poor Common path, we crossed the road and headed off across Ferndown Common. The going was generally okay but there were a few muddy patches. As this was a short walk, we added in a small detaour at the end before heading across the Ringwood Road to the pub.
After lunch, with Tony now joining the group, we decided on a longer walk that took us down Award Road and Keepers Lane, eventually returning us to Ferndown Common closer to Longham. It was a pleasant walk, not too arduous and dry throughout the day.
The Pub
The Pure Drop on the Ringwood Road at Ferndown. Some walkers opted for the "Two courses for £5.95" deal while others went for the "Two means for £10 option". The food was good value and we opted to use the Pure Drop for the Wednesday Walkers Christmas Lunch. Put the dtae in your diaries: 13th December.
Next Week
Meet in Wimborne for a White Sheet walk.
