The Wednesday Walk 7th March 2018

The Plan

Who Turned Up

Sue, Trisha, Trudy B, Trudy H, Tony H, David

The Walk

The snow has all melted. Aren’t we lucky? We had a snow-free walk last Wednesday and a snow-free walk today. In between the country had enough snow to cause chaos.

We parked at our usual spot and walked over the top of the hill. The temperature was around ten degrees so we weren’t cold. After lunch we took the main path back along the bottom of the hill and had to make one or two detours to avoid areas of flooding. This afternoon we were feeling much warmer. Overall, it was a good walk for the time of the year.

Thanks to Tony for bringing our airline boarding cards and we all send our thanks to Beatrice for organising our forthcoming trip. Thanks also to Trudy B for this week’s photographs.

The Wednesday Walk 28th February 2018

The Plan

An Arne walk

Who Turned Up

Sue, Trisha, Trudy B, Wendy, Beatriec and Tony H, David

The Walk

Most of the country was covered in a blanket of snow, but Dorset was – so far – resisting the worst ravages of the weather. The odd flurry of snow drifted down from the clouds, but we otherwise had only the cold wind to contend with. We drove to the RSPB car park at Arne and took our usual walking route. We hurried across the view point as the wind was quite chilly up there. After lunch we took a much shorter walk just to round off the day.

Back at Sue’s house we enjoyed two cakes. One from Beatrice and Tony, and one from Sue. Thanks are due for both of them. And thanks also to Trudy for the photographs.

Lunch

We at at the RSPB café. Only a snack but it served to warm us up.

Next Week

Meet at Trudy B’s at 10am for a walk over St Catherine’s Hill
