Eight of our Branch members gathered at the car park for
Copythorne School on Romsey Road for our monthly walk of about 2 ¼
miles.
At 10 am we crossed over the M27 by the bridge and then
turned right through a gate into the woods. We immediately came upon a mother
cow and its calf having their mid morning snack on the bushes and trees around
us. As we walked towards them they ran off through the trees to feed
elsewhere.
We then carried along a broad track which was apparently the
old road to Paultons .At the fence we turned left and walked along a broad track
on the edge of the woodland by the fence.
It was lovely, the birds were singing, the sun was shining
and all around us was wonderful countryside.
We followed the footpath for a time, and then we joined and
walked along through Newbridge village for a bit ,before turning left up and
along another footpath and then after a time crossing the M27 and then back to
our cars.
All decided that it was a wonderful walk, in wonderful
scenery with wonderful company.
The next walk is on Friday 7th September starting
at 10 am from the car park at Canada Common, behind the Rockingham Arms. See you
there.
