The Wednesday Walk 8th October 2014

The Plan

A wareham walk

Who Turned Up

Sue, Trudy H, Jackie, Beatrice and Tony H, David. And Wendy for the morning walk.

The Walk

We parked at the Sika Trail car park, just down the road from the Silent Woman. A straightforward woodland path took us back into Wareham, close by the railway station. A simple walk on which we avoided all the heavy showers forecast for today. Some walkers visited the local butcher for faggots and pies.
After lunch, we walked up past the Wareham Hospital and on past West Mills. We walked under the by-pass road, crossed the River Piddle and followed the Wareham Forest Way. After crossing the Carey Road, we followed the forest trail until it came to the main road near the Silent Woman. It was then a short hop back to the cars. We were lucky to stay dry throughout the walk. As we drove back to Sue’s house we encountered a very heavy downpour. Thank you, Sue, for finishing off the day with tea and cakes.

The Pub

The King’s Head in Wareham. A rather Dickensian establishment but the food was good. No one came away hungry and the pie-eater was fully sated.

Next Week

Meet at Beatrice and Tony’s at 1030.
