The Walk
We drove straight to the starting point (with no stop-off for coffee) at a parking area in the New Forest. The morning walk was mostly dry with a little rain, but a pleasant walk for all that. We lunched at the Hare and Hounds in Sway. There was general agreement that the meal was good with table service for drinks and food. The rain began again during lunch and we emerged from the pub into a longer shower. It was still wet as we made our way back towards the woods, so we elected to take a short cut along a disused railway track.

Sue had a lite bite and she rated the food very good and excellent value for money. Trudy had ham, egg and chips for around £5. David rated the meal very good but rather expensive. He had the pie-of-the-day, as usual, but without chips because he's on a diet! The pie, a pint of shandy and a coffee was over £13 (should have had a sandwich!).
