| Date: Location: Walk Leader: Participants: Distance: Parking: Lunch: | 21st January 2015 Wareham Forest from the Golf Club Peter Peter, Ray, Rob and a ghostly Clive 6 miles Golf Club Bakers Arms ★★ |
When we arrived at Wareham it was raining really hard so we sat in the car for about half an hour. We were convinced it would soon stop but it did not so we went into the club house and had a coffee. Finally at 11:45 it had reduced to a light drizzle so we set off. After a few minutes even the drizzle stopped and it never rained again all the way round.
We did not follow the original plan taking in the Wareham Forest Way as it would have probably been under water and we had forgotten our swimming gear!
As you can see from the map after a short walk through the golf course we went into Northport Heath and then folowed the cycle tracks. There was a lot of water everywhere and the sky was an unremitting steely grey for most of the day. We did however manage to spot a small patch of blue just before we got back to the car park.
It was actually a very pleasant walk considering the conditions and we managed to cover 6 miles by 14:15.
The timing was excellent as we had an arrangement for a free lunch at the Bakers Arms booked for 15:00. This was such an attractive offer that Clive managed to join us for the first time in quite a few weeks - just for the lunch that is though his spirit was with us all the time. The fish and chips were much better than on two previous occasions and our only criticisms were that the mushy peas were luke warm and the plates felt as if they had never been heated. We will however go back and pay for a meal next time.
