The Wednesday Walk 31st January 2018




The Plan
Coy Pond to Bournemouth

Who Turned Up
Sue, Jackie, Trudy H, Trudy B, Wendy, Ros, Beatrice and Tony H, David

The Walk
We met at Coy Pond just as a hailstorm was passing through. It was a reminder of why we had to cancel last week’s walk. The people who run the weather systems seem to think that Wednesdays are good days for rain while other days are perfect for sunshine. In the event we had a reasonable walk down into Bournemouth, stopping only once to allow a shower to pass through. Trudy H’s photograph shows us sheltering beneath the trees. There was one accident on a slippery slope but, happily, the walker seems to have sustained no permanent injury. 
After lunch in the town, we took the route up the opposite side of the river to Coy Pond. This time we met not a single drop of rain.

Lunch
Some of us ate in Wetherspoons pub in Bournemouth Square. Others walked on down to Harry Ramsdens. Either way, we were well fed.

Next Week
Meet at Kingston Lacy at 1030 am. In the event of rain, discussions will take place.
