The Wednesday Walk 21st December 2011

The Plan
A walk from Sandford

The Leader
Wendy

Who Turned Up
Wendy, Lucy (welcome to the group, Lucy) Sue, Trisha, Beatrice, Tony R, Jackie and David. We were joined at the pub by Tony H.

The Walk
It wasn't a brilliant day but it stayed dry and we even saw a few odd patches of blue sky. We parked the cars outside Sandford school: no problem as the children are on holiday. We then walked out over Morden Bog Nature Reserve. This being winter, the path was somewhat boggy at times, but it was  never beyond our ability to outmanoeuvre the worst bits. The walk was not overly long but very pleasant.
Tony was waiting for us when we got to the pub and he completed the afternoon walk with us.
After lunch we took a shorter route across the heath, past the old decoy building (used to decoy enemy aircraft from the nearby admiralty site during WW2). We then returned to Sue's house for tea and cakes. Many thanks, Sue.

The Pub
The Clay Pipe at Sandford. The food was reasonably priced and very nicely done. The chicken and mushroom pie was excellent and no one felt short-changed by the food quality or amounts on their plates.
