Swanage walking holiday

Thirty one of us took advantage of U3A's walking holiday David and John organized to Swanage. The usual fine weather with lots of sunshine and good company made it a very pleasant three days. The three star Pine Hotel all with ensuites gave four course evening meals and generous breakfasts. Large dining room with sea views and even larger lounge for evening quizzes.
Many of the arranged walks were near Corfe Castle. Some down to the beach with long walks through brightly lit rapeseed fields to high hills buffeted by strong winds. One walk ended with a steam train ride back to Corfe bringing back old memories of past times.
Thanks once again to David and John

May Walk

1st April walk at Cadman Pond

a really nice day very warm but the air was fresh. Meeting up at the pond we were greeted with swarms of tiny flies but leaving the pond we left them behind. There was 25 of us and 2 dogs.
