The Walk
We met at
Beatrice and Tony’s house in Wimborne. The sky was clear but the air was
showing signs of autumnal coolness. However, we were all wrapped up warm as we
set off across the Cranborne Road towards Long Close Farm. We turned north parallel
with the main road, past Wilksworth Farm and on past High Hall. This is a
seventeenth century smaller version of Kingston Lacy. Today it is used as a
wedding venue. We left the High Hall estate by the Grange road and continued on
to the pub where Sue and Jackie were waiting for us.
After
lunch, three of us walked back into Wimborne. We took the footpath to the east
of Smuggler’s Lane and crossed the road to come out by Dumpton School. A
welcome cup of tea and slice of apple cake were waiting for us at Beatrice and
Tony’s house. Many thanks both of you.
The Pub
The
Stocks. A pleasant olde worlde pub we have visited before and never been
disappointed. The food is good and the atmosphere friendly.
Next Week
Meet at
10am, parking in Brownsea Road, Sandbanks. We will aim for the 1015 ferry to
Brownsea Island. BRING A PACKED LUNCH.
