The Walk
The
BBC weather forecaster said it would stay dry through the morning and we could
expect showers after 1pm. He got it wrong. It stayed dry from the start to the
end of this week's walk. We parked in the picnic/walks area between Kingfisher and
Northfields Lakes. We then took the path past the sailing club to the Lakes Study
Centre. After a brief comfort stop, we continued to the Alice Lisle Pub. It was
a pleasant morning walk.After lunch we took a detour up the hill to the top of Rockford Common.. rather a steep climb in places but it got our hearts working effectively. Our route brought us, eventually, back to the Alice Lisle, from where we retraced our morning steps back to the car. We were driving away from Ringwood when it started to rain. How glad we were that the forecaster got the timing wrong!
All-in-all it was a very pleasant day out.
The Pub
The
Alice Lisle. The food was good, except that they had no pies. However, the
alternatives were very tasty.
Next Week
Meet
at the car park near the entrance to Upton House at 1030.
