The Wednesday Walk 26th October 2016






The Plan
A Fordingbridge walk

Who Turned Up
Beatrice and Tony H, Trudy H, Trisha, Wendy, David

The Walk
We elected to make this a stile-less walk. We drove to Frogham in the New Forest and took a circular route over Hyde Common that brought us right back to our cars. Along the way we stopped at the church of the Holy Ascension in Hyde (built 1855) to visit the grave of Barbara Wort. We then drove to Fordingbridge for lunch After lunch we left the cars by St Mary’s Church in Fordingbridge and walked down Frog Lane. When we got to the end of the lane we were met by a notice telling us the route ahead was blocked by work on a footbridge. So we circled round back along a different route to the cars. Once again our thanks go to Trudy for the photographs.

The Pub
The Ship in Fordingbridge. We opted for the two-course special at £7.75 and – as on previous visits – we were pleased with the food. Even better, we managed to finish Trisha’s cryptic crossword before the meal was ended. Well done all round.
