Bere
Regis and Michael’s walk
Who Turned Up
Jackie,
Trudy B, Trudy H, Tricia, Tony and Diane R, Tony H, David (Sue joined us for
lunch and the afternoon walk)
The Walk
What a
glorious day. We drove to Turners Puddle for the start of the walk and parked
the cars in bright sunshine. Most of us turned up with coats or woollies and
soon had to discard them. If this was spring weather, roll on the rest of it.
Our walk took us along the Jubilee Trail and into Shitterton Village. That’s
what the locals call it. Newcomers prefer to call it Sitterton.
After
lunch we walked to the side of Bere Regis where Bryan May is planting new trees
and, seemingly, building a new road. We then took an upward path that seemed
never ending. The route took us through lovely countryside and down through the
woodland path we call “Michael’s Walk” ending up at Michael’s memorial plaque.
A very enjoyable walk in beautiful weather.
Thanks go to Trudy B for leading the walk, to Jackie for the tea and biscuits, and to both Trudies for the photographs. (Can you spot the alligator Trudy H saw along the way?)
The Pub
The Drax
Arms in Bere Regis. The food was a trifle expensive but it was very nicely
prepared and there was plenty of it. No pies, but the pie-eater was so well
filled he was unable to finish his meal. We have no objections to paying a bit more for
good quality food. Well done the charming young chef.
