The Wednesday Walk 27th November 2013



The Plan
A walk on Upton Heath

The Leader
Mostly Wendy

Who Turned Up
Wendy, Sue, Trudy B, Trudy H, Beatrice and Tony H, David

The Walk
The day began overcast but dry. We met at a lay-by in Creekmoor, parked our cars and then set off along a trailway that took us out onto Upton Heath. The going was good, the ground dry and the day warmer than we have experienced of late. Our route took us back to Corfe Mullen where we arrived at the pub just a few minutes before they opened.
After lunch we walked down Albert Road (near the pub) turned into a woodland walk and eventually found ourselves back on Upton Heath. From here, Wendy had a guide map which led us across the open heath and back to where our cars were parked.
Overall, a good walk which took us through streets and wild places. Thanks are due to Wendy for tea and cakes and to Trudy H for the photographs.

The Pub
The Dorset Soldier, Wareham Road, Corfe Mullen. They did a good-value deal, two courses for £6.50. We all took advantage of it but only one had the starter. The food was good, worth another visit.

Next Week
Meet in “Conkers Road” at 1030. Go to St Peter’s Finger and take the road just opposite the pub. Park in a lay-by a little way along the road.
