The Wednesday Walk 3rd October 2012

The Plan

A Poor Common and Hampreston Lakes walk

The Leader

Wendy (by virtue of her natural leadership skills) but others were induced to help.

Who Turned Up

Wendy, Ros, Beatrice and Tony H, Trisha, Sue and David (with Trudy B joining us for a pre-walk coffee)

The Walk

We met at Haskins Garden Centre for coffee (glad you could join us, Trudy, and we hope your foot recovers soon) prior to the walk. This was also an opportunity for the ladies to do a little shopping. We then drove to the lay-by near the Angel Inn and set out along the Poor Common walk. We continued past the Guide’s camp at Dudsbury and took the riverside track to the Bridge House Hotel for lunch. The river was running high, but that was not surprising after the recent rain.
After lunch we walked alongside the Hampreston Lakes and then out to Ham Lane. After crossing the road, we continued on along the pathway until we came back to the lay-by and our cars.

The Pub

The Bridge House Hotel at hampreston. All but two of us had the carvery which has gone up in price to £5.50. It is still very good value. No one was dissatisfied.

Next Week

Meet at Beatrice and Tony’s at 10am for a walk to High Hall.
