The Wednesday Walk 26th November 2014


 
The Plan
A Longham walk

Who Turned Up
Tricia, Sue, Wendy, Trudy B, Trudy H, Tony (morning only), David (morning only)

The Walk
We met in the layby near The Angel and changed into wellie boots. We anticpated a muddy walk. The weather was overcast but stayed dry, which was a blessing. We took the usual route through the woods to Dudsbury. We then followed the bank of the River Stour to the Bridge House Hotel. The path here was muddy and the river was running fast, not surprising after the recent rain. Beatrice met us at the hotel for lunch.
After lunch, only five hardy walkers continued across the road to the Longham Lakes, and only four continued beyond Haskins for the walk back to the cars.

Lunch
We ate at the Bridge House Hotel. The carvery here is very good value at £5.99. The portions are generous and one walker, unable to finish the meal, was given the rest nicely wrapped up for tea.
