The Walk

Wasn’t summer beautiful? All those bright, cloudless days and that warm sunshine. Keep it in mind because it’s gone now. Today began with low cloud and drizzle. The Ringstead walk was quickly put on hold and an alternative agreed. We would walk along the trailway from Broadstone to Wimborne. As a precaution two cars were placed at strategic points, one at Delft Woods and one at the pub in Wimborne. We set out in good spirits despite the drizzle. Luckily it did not develop into a full-blown downpour and we arrived in Wimborne relatively undamaged after a three mile jaunt.
After lunch the weather was only marginally worse. However, three walkers opted to catch a bus back to Broadstone. Two walked to the car at Delft Woods and drove from there. The remaining five walked the full route back to the start point. By then the rain was getting heavier. But we did accomplish around six miles of walking.
We finished off with tea and cake at Wendy’s house. Thank you, Wendy.

The Pub

The Coach and Horses, Wimborne. We’ve eaten here before and been happy with the service. The food was wholesome, reasonably priced, delivered in good time and the service was friendly.

Next Week

Meet at Diane and Tony’s at 0945 Depending upon the weather we may try for a Ringstead walk or something more local.
