The Walk
A day of sunshine and showers: bright and sunny in the morning but a little cloudy in the afternoon. We left our cars at Wendy's house ands set off across Upton Heath. There we picked up the trailway - the old S&D railway line - and followed it south until we turned off along a sandy path over the heathland. The route took us to the Upton Heath Nature Reserve at the top end of Beacon Hill Lane. From there it was a short walk to the pub on the Blandford Road.
After lunch we walked back up the Blandford Road to Naked Cross (on a cool day like today being naked certainly would make you cross) and we then followed the up-and-down track back to the trailway. Along the route we observed the results of a past heath fire that came perilously close to at least one house.
Tea and home made sponge was served at Wendy's. Thank you, Wendy, your cooking was much appreciated.
The Pub
The Holme Bush on the Blandford Road. Six of the seven walkers enjoyed at "two meals for £9.50" deal. The seventh opted for the home made pie. The pictures of it say all that needs to be said.
Next Week
Meet at Delph Woods car park at 1015 for a walk to Lamb's Green.
