October Walk

September Winchester walk

Another nice day for our walk on the wild side of Winchester. This is a group picture of all those who went. The dog was impatient to keep going.
Slippery crumbling chalk paths bordering the river. Narrow bramble encroaching single track lanes with delicious blackberries to temp many a walker and sloes for those who like to make their own drinks. Our encounter with a bull and his harem of cows and calves added to our adventure. Mike was brave in shooing them away. 26 and one dog enjoyed the walk very much

September Walk

August walk - Anderwood car park

Only eighteen turned up for a walk this morning and despite the threat of rain it remained dry. Only once did we don waterproofs but soon took them off again. The walk was very muddy but most of us had wellingtons happily plodded through although we did almost lose one member who got stuck in a glue like bog and had to be helped along. One person used ingenuity to cross a small stream and to stay dry.

Pickett Post New Forest walk

Not so muggy or as hot as recent days for our walk although rain threatened it remained dry.Nice view from the car park of up to seven horizen levels (6 ridges)but we crossed the road and went the other way before circling back. Some interest was taken of the small butterfly (pictured)

June 3rd Walk

A beautiful day to meet at Canada Common very warm but with a cooling breeze a good circular walk on mainly open ground. We spotted a flowering orchid standing on its own not far in from the road.
