The Wednesday Walk 17th February 2016


The Plan
A shore walk

Who Turned Up
Wendy, Jackie, Sue, Trudy B.
David turned up for lunch.

The Walk
The forecast promised a wet day, but we area a hardy group. Four brave souls turned up at the Ferndown Forest Golf Course car park and walked from there to West Moors in the rain. They arrived too early for lunch so enjoyed a coffee shop treat before moving on to the pub.
After lunch, everyone cried off another walk. It was just too wet and we were all well filled with a hearty meal.

The Pub
The Elephant and Castle, West Moors. The lunchtime special offered two courses at £6.50 or three courses for £8.50. At those prices you might wonder if the meals were rather sparse. Well, they were most decidedly not sparse. Two people chose the bacon and mushroom rarebit starter. One person ordered the same dish as a main course! The others enjoyed main courses that were ample and filling. Only one person was up for a sweet, and that was tasty as well. Overall, very good value for money.

Next Week
Weather permitting, we shall meet at the Boscombe end of Knyveton Road and do the walk we planned for this week.
