The Wednesday Walk 28th January 2009

The Plan
We will do Trudy's Rockbourne walk and have lunch at the Cartwheel Inn at Whitbury

The Leader
Trudy / Wendy

Who Turned Up
Wendy, Trudy, Sue and David (morning only)

The Walk
In view of a forecast of bad weather, the planned walk to Rockbourne was cancelled. On the day, the majority of the rain had passed by so it was decided to walk from Ferndown to West Moors via the woodland path. Only four walkers were available and they met at David's. The walk was wet underfoot and, as we had time in hand, we extended it beyond West Moors along the Castleman Trailway.
Over lunch at the Elephant and Castle, the group discovered that they were all medically unfit and they had no 'minder' to watch over them this week.
Wendy's wrist is still not back to normal and Sue still has her arm in plaster. Trudy was still feeling the effects of her recent fall but, nevertheless, after lunch all three ladies walked back to Ferndown. David had to leave early, for a hospital appointment.

The Pub
The Elephant and Castle, West Moors. The three ladies each had a £4.95 two-course meal (which seemed good value) and David had a shepherd's pie in deference to the stitches in his mouth. (see - I told you we were all medically unfit!)
