| Date: Location: Distance: Parking: Lunch: | 2 August 2018 Gussage All Saints 4.34 miles Beside the church Coach and Horses, Wimborne |
There is not a great deal to be said about this walk. It was much shorter than we planned for the simple reason it was so blistering hot. We went into the edge of Harley Wood to escape the sun at about 11:00. Before long we had to leave the shade and as soon as we moved into the open fields we started to melt. We decided to take the shortest route back to the car which was parked under a large shady tree next to the church.

| We had a look around the church and having often heard the American expression “holy cow” I couldn’t resist taking this picture of one of the stained glass windows. I wonder if there is an interesting story attached to this unusual and colourful piece of religious art. |  It Speaks For Itself |
 The Church Gussage All Saints | Just in case you wanted to know I can now tell you that Gussage is Anglo-Saxon for "the place where the stream dries up". We drove back to the Coach and Horses in Wimborne where we had our usual gammon. |
