The Wednesday Walk 21st August 2013





The Plan
A Wareham walk

The Leader
Wendy

Who Turned Up
Wendy, Tricia, Trudy B, Trudy H, Beatrice and Tony H, Jackie, David, and Sue from lunchtime onwards

The Walk
We parked in West Street in Wareham and set off through the car park to join the ancient town walls overlooking the River Piddle. Well, what else would you call a stream? We followed the walls around until we joined the walk through North Bestwall Woods. At the far end, we crossed West Coppice and walked back parallel to the River Frome. Back in the town we made for the Black Bull where Sue was waiting for us.
After lunch we drove to the Blue Pool where Jackie kindly arranged a cream tea to celebrate her retirement. We were pleased to see other friends join us for the occasion. We enjoyed tea, sandwiches and cream scones before making a circuit of the pool.
A most enjoyable day with special thanks due to Jackie for her afternoon treat. We all enjoyed it to the full.

The Pub
The Black Bear in Wareham. The food is good and reasonably priced.

 Next Week
Meet at Beatrice and Tony’s at the usual time for a High Hall walk.
