The Walk
What an enormous difference to the wet weather we experienced last week. If
this is summer, we’d like some more of it please. Blue skies and sunshine
followed us throughout the day and this weather is forecast to stay with us for
the next three or four days. Four of us met at the White Cliff car park and
bundled into Trisha’s car for the short trip down to the ferry area. We were
just in time to get aboard a ferry as it was about to leave and we were pleased
to see the two Trudys aboard a bus already on board. At the Studland side of
the crossing, we joined up as a group of six and headed down to Bramble Bush Bay and walked around the shore.
There was a little breeze but nothing to spoil our enjoyment of the weather.
When we came to the main road, we crossed over and took a path down towards the
nudist beach. Just before we reached the total exposure area we
turned off along a sandy track that led us across the heathland. A very pleasant
walk, it took us straight to the Knoll Beach NT café. After lunch we elected to take the bull by the horns and parade right across the shoreline, including the nudist beach. For a September weekday, the beach was remarkably busy but we kept our eyes fixed on our objective and enjoyed more of the glorious weather. At the ferry point we said goodbye to the two Trudys - who had a bus to catch - before we crossed back to Sandbanks and a small café where we enjoyed a cup of tea.
Our thanks go to Trisha for leading a very enjoyable walk.
The Pub
No
pub this week. We ate at in the sunshine outside the NT café at Knoll Beach.
The food was reasonable and washed down, in one case, by a bottle of Piddle.Next Week
TBD
