The Walk

The day was cool but sunny, ideal for a walk. We drove first to the Cranborne Manor garden centre for tea and coffee. Suitably refreshed we drove on the lay-by near Mill Farm on the Alderholt Road. From there we followed the woodland path parallel to the road back to Cranborne. The going was generally good this morning.
After lunch we crossed to the north side of the road to follow our usual route via Jordan Hill plantation. The going got a bit slippery at times, but no one actually fell into the mud. Trousers did suffer however. We took the path back to the main road coming out close by the vehicles. Our thanks go to Beatrice and Tony for the tea and cakes to round off the day.

The Pub

The Sheaf of Arrows, Cranborne. The senior citizen’s special looked good. Between us we sampled one, two and even three courses. The garlic mushroom starter was delicious. The pork medallion main course was good. And the variety of deserts was enjoyed. Worth another visit.

Next Week

Meet at Sue’s at 10am for a walk from Upton Park.

Computers
Several walkers have experienced computer problems of late. Do you know when the word computer first came into use? Earlier than you might think. Check it out at www.acloudofbooks.blogspot.co.uk
