Who Turned Up

Trisha, Sue, Trudy B, Trudy H, Beatrice and Tony H, Diane and Tony R, Colin and David

The Walk

It was a glorious day with clear blue skies and sunshine. As usual we parked near the tennis courts in Leicester Road. We then walked down through Branksome Woods to the shore at Branksome Chine. From there it was a short walk along the promenade to Diane’s beach hut at 25 Alum Chine. Here we stopped for tea and biscuits. Thank you, Diane, but we do need to inform you that the Egon Ronay sign has been stolen from your premises. After our morning cuppa, we walked on and up through the gardens to the Argyle Bowling Club café.
After lunch we took a casual walk back to the shore and stopped at Sue’s beach hut for our afternoon cuppa. Once again it was a pleasant interlude watching the sea and an RAF Hercules dropping its passengers into the water. Best place to throw them! The walk ended back at the car park. Trisha very kindly offered to round off the day with another cup of tea at her house.

The Café

The Argyle Bowling Club café. We have eaten here before but we were pleased to see their menu has advanced beyond the simple “all day breakfast” they have served in the past. The food was good and relatively priced.

 

Next Week

Meet at Beatrice and Tony’s in Wimborne for a walk from Salisbury to Old Sarum.
