July Walk

The sun was shining when 3 of us met Ingrid and Brian outside the “Cuckoo “ inn raring to set off.   A short walk along the road before diverting into a field and on we went towards the Hamptworth golf course where our path took us along a lane and valley running between the 2 halves of the course and across the river Blackwater and into woodland and welcome shade.   We plodded on through a field of courgettes and one of frilly lettuces being lured ever onward by the thought of a welcome pint at the 
“Cuckoo “.   We even had a young robin join us at the table looking for crumbs but were not able to assist him.   Ingrid may put a picture of him/her on the blog.

All in all a most pleasant walk and not too arduous, so thanks again to our leaders.

By the way, I understand that next month’s long walk will include a stop at “Annie’s “ tea rooms at Acres Down.   Whooo!   See you there.

After our walk this morning in Hamptworth, 5 of us stopped at the Cuckoo Inn for some refreshment and were joined by a 6th member too young to join our group.
