The Walk

We parked, as usual, at the viewing area close to Bovington camp, not far from Cloud’s Hill. The army were playing games with their tanks, seemingly testing the vehicles rather than the drivers. We walked past the stone marking the place where Lawrence died and then our walk took us through Moreton Plantation. We continued on to the Jubilee Trail where we crossed the river into Moreton Village.
After lunch we took the shorter route across Bovington Heath back to the car park. Hilly but not so long.
It was a pleasant warm day with an overcast sky in the morning and sunshine in the afternoon. We finished up at Wendy’s house with an unexpected cream tea. Scones, jam and cream served the Cornish or Devon way. And strawberries, and a sponge cake. Very many thanks to Wendy.

Lunch

We ate at the Moreton Tea Rooms. We were told the food would take 45 minutes (shades of last week’s long wait) but it actually came much quicker than that. However, it was expensive, especially the beer at £4.25.

Next Week

Meet at Pamphill at 0845 for a breakfast walk.
