The Plan
An Arne
walk

The Walk
Arne was,
in fact, plan B, but turned out to be an ideal walk for the weather: sunshine
and seventeen degrees. Not too hot and not too cold. We parked as usual at the
RSPB car park and set off towards the lookout point and then down to the shore.
After lunch we took a walk in the opposite direction. It was a very pleasant
day and a nice leisurely stroll through the nature reserve.
Thank
you, Jackie, for the tea and cake to round off the day at your house.
The Pub
The King’s
Arms at Stoborough. The food was very good, if a little pricey. There was a pie
on the menu but it was not sampled. The home-made faggots were excellent.

The Walk
My
apologies for the absence of a write-up over the past few weeks. Normal service
will now, hopefully, be resumed.
We parked
at the usual spot by Turnerspuddle Farm. The grounds of the church close to the
parking spot looked very overgrown and we discovered only later that the church
is now the property of the farm. The day was cool but dry as we set out on a
pleasantly quiet path towards Bere Regis. We passed through the quaint little village
of Shitterton (which newcomers now insist on calling Sitterton) and along the
river bank into Bere Regis.
After
lunch we took the alternate route past the fields which Brian May has bought to
prevent any development. These fields are now planted with hundreds of small
trees with the aim of returning the area to woodland. Our path became a little
sticky at times but we made good progress to Michael’s memorial before
returning to Turnerspuddle.
Thanks to Jackie and Sue for tea and cakes at the end of the walk.
The Pub
The Drax
Arms, Bere Regis. They had a table for ten waiting for us and the service was
delivered with a smile. The food was good but a little pricey. They had no
pies.
