The Wednesday Walk 11th April 2018




The Plan
A seafront walk

Who Turned Up
Beatrice and Tony H, Diane and Tony R, Trisha, Sue, Jackie, Ros, Wendy, David… and a warm welcome to Linda

The Walk
We have been unlucky with weather this winter but today our luck changed. Spring is now upon us. We met in Knyveton Road and walked down through Boscombe Gardens to the shore. Even before we set off along the seafront some walkers were feeling warm enough to take off their coats. The sun was shining, children were playing on the beach and the weather forecaster’s promise of a good day was coming to fruition. We were pleased to see the cliff lift is now back in service (it was damaged by landslip a couple of winters ago) although we did not use it. We were also pleased to see smart new beach huts in the other area that suffered a landslip.
After lunch we walked back along the clifftop path, again discarding coats as we went. A pleasant day’s walk that was not too demanding.

The Pub
The Kettle and Spyglass. The food and drink were good, as we have found on previous visits. Extra help behind the counter wouldn’t go amiss though.

Next Week
Meet at Canford Village for a 10am bus ride to Swanage.
