None needed
The Walk
What a glorious summer day! Just the sort of weather we needed to enjoy a walk along the shore. We tried to find some free street parking near the start point… but failed. The yellow lines at the sides of the roads seem to have been breeding in the area. So we paid to park in the public car park at Avon Run. We walked along the promenade and the beach until we were beyond Highcliff Castle. Along the way, no one volunteered to jump into the sea and enjoy a swim… but Diane came close to it. A brisk walk up the cliff side then took us within spitting distance of the pub.
After lunch we walked back to the castle and then followed the cliff path through the nature reserve and on past Steamer Point. The sun never stopped shining for us, and for the people out enjoying the beach and the sea. We returned to Trudy’s house for tea and cake… many thanks, especially for the excellent cake, Trudy!
The Pub
The Globe at Highcliff. The group split into two: those favouring eating outdoors and those preferring to stay in the shade inside. The Globe does a nice line in reduced-price meals which the walkers took advantage of.
Next Week
Trisha’s walk to Studland has been put back one week in favour of a Pamphill walk. Meet in the car park at Pamphill (in the road facing the Kingston Lacy church) at 1030.
