The Wednesday Walk 12th July 2017

The Plan

A breakfast walk

Who Turned Up

Wendy and Elisa (welcome to the walking group, Elisa) Beatrice and Tony H, Diane and Tony R, Trudy B, David

The Walk

We decided to meet at 0930 at Pamphill and head into Wimborne for breakfast. The day started dull and overcast with a bit of a chilly breeze, but we rapidly warmed up once we got going. We started at the Pamphill car park nearest the church and headed down All Fools Lane. A walk beside the River Stour took us into Wimborne. After lunch we came back past the Queen Elizabeth School and Pamphill School. In other words, it was the usual route.

The Pub

The Man In The Wall, Wimborne. The food here is good and it’s not at all expensive. A large breakfast (as big as you will ever get or manage to eat) comes out at £4.99. A pint of beer is £1.99. You can’t beat that.

Next Week

A Ringstead Bay walk.

The Wednesday Walk 5th July 2017

The Plan

A Studland Heath walk

Who Turned Up

Trudy B, Sue, Beatrice and Tony H, David

The Walk

The weather forecast promised us clear blue skies and temperatures around 28 degrees. Maybe that was why the bus from Canford Village was full with (sardine-type) standing room only. All heading for Studland beach? Probably. It stayed jam-packed like that until we got off the bus near the Shell Bay sailing centre. From there we walked down beside Bramble Bush Bay and across Studland Heath. We passed around the hill with the Agglestone, past Black Down and wandered on to the Isle of Purbeck Golf Club. By then we were glad to sit down and enjoy a cold drink.

After lunch we walked back to Ulwell where we all had an ice cream to cool us down. Then we caught a bus home. It was still well-patronised.
Our thnks, as always, to Trudy for the photographs.

The Lunch Stop

The bar in the Isle of Purbeck Golf Club. Because of the heat, we all had a cold drink and a sandwich, with a selection of crisps and chips. It was enough. The view back towards Poole Harbour was impressive.

Next Week

If the weather is hot we will have a breakfast walk, meeting at Pamphill at 8am

If it is cool, we will have a Tincleton walk, meeting at Sue’s at 10am.

The decision on whether it is hot or cool will… um, er… be made nearer the time.
