Walking at Hengistbury Head on Tuesday 29th October 2024
What a beautiful day for a walk at Hengistbury Head...some of us stopped off at Friar's Cliff beforehand but that's another story. Half term school holidays meant it was busier than usual, however, a lovely walk was had by all eleven of us...whether we did the short or the longer walk.
Walking from Old Station Tea Rooms, Holmsley, Burley on
Tuesday 3rd September 2024
Although a bit overcast, nine of us arrived at the tea room, parked up then walked about a mile or so along the old railway track towards Burley. We met a few cyclists and people out walking dogs. Having found a ball a quick game of football took place...missed a photo opportunity though. The heather is beginning to bloom and we commented on the variety of different hues.
The weather stayed fine, in fact got a bit warmer as we arrived back at the tearoom where we all enjoyed our usual chat, coffee/tea and delicious cake. The staff were ever so helpful and will definitely add Holmsley to our list of places to revisit.
Walking at Lady's Mile, Godshill then coffee and cake at Woodgreen Community Shop Cafe on
Tuesday 6th August 2024
What a lovely day for a walk!! After a heavy rain shower in the morning, it seemed much fresher today when thirteen of us met at Godshill Enclosure and had a lovely walk with beautiful views along Lady's Mile.
Walking in the Forest on Tuesday 30th July 2024
Well yesterday was hot, hot, hot so we were very careful not to walk too far for too long. So having met at Hyde we had a lovely gentle stroll, resting a couple of times under the large fir trees that were available also.
Walking from Tuckton Tea Gardens to Hengistbury Head Nature Reserve
on
Tuesday 2nd July 2024
Although we were short on numbers today for a variety of different reasons, what a lovely time eight of us had as we walked from Tuckton Tea Garden, past the Wick Ferry towards Hengistbury Head Nature Reserve and back again. The weather was kind to us, neither too hot or too windy.
Walking from Hengistbury Head to Mudeford Spit on Tuesday 18th June 2024
Today we all met up at Hengistbury Head and took the low level walk to Mudeford Spit. The weather was lovely, not too hot and always a gentle breeze. We all walk at different paces so naturally split into smaller groups, regardless of groups, lots of conversation , especially about the scenery and birds around us. The agreement was we are all lucky to have such a beautiful coastline on our doorstep.
Having set off earlier today, we had lunch instead of our usual coffee/tea and cake. At The Beach House we enjoyed a variety of different food and thank you to the staff who made us so welcome.
Conversation lessoned whilst we all enjoyed our lunch.
Look at the view we had whilst we ate also!
Afterwards there was a choice of either returning to Hengistbury Head on foot or by train. Some may have thought train was the quicker option but no, the walkers arrived back before the passengers did.
Twice a year we have an extended day; summer outing with lunch and Christmas party with lots of seasonal delights. Absolutely no doubt, our summer outing this year was another great success
Our next planned walk is on Tuesday 2nd July and we are hoping to visit Tuckton Tea Gardens after our walk.
