The Wednesday Walk 13th December 2017






The Plan
Canford Heath

Who Turned Up
Tony H, Wendy, Trudy B, Trudy H, David

The Walk
We positioned one car at the Asda store on Canford Heath in case the weather turned wet. Good thinking, but not quite good enough. We started the walk near the Knighton Heath Golf Course, taking a straightforward track across the Canford Heath. Anyone who has walked this path will know it is open and totally exposed – that’s why it’s called a heath! However, we didn’t expect it to be a problem in the morning. Wrong. It rained. By the time we reached the Canford Heath shopping Centre we were soaked. We went to the pub for lunch and decided to call off any thoughts of an afternoon walk. Our thanks to Trudy for the photographs, which show very well the state of the weather.

The Pub
The Haymoor. The only pie on the menu was vegetarian, but the other options served us very well. We had good food at reasonable prices, and the beer was cheap. That cheered up the male walkers.

Next Week

Meet by the tennis courts in Leicester Road at 1045 for a walk to the bowling club café. If wet, expect an update.eat
