Sunday Strollers

On the 21st July twelve Strollers gathered at The Green Man pub ready to commence our 4 mile walk around Wickham Bishops. Although we have previously joined a few of these Sunday walks it was the first time we had the responsibility of arranging a walk. On reflection we were rather over cautious with our planning, checking that our first aid kit was up to date should we need it and we had stocked up on antihistamine cream just in case we came across a swarm of bees, in the event, we are pleased to report no injuries at all. After an early short rain shower, we were blessed with perfect weather for the circular walk. We walked through the village turning right into Mope Lane until we joined a waymarked footpath at the side of Thistle Hall which led us through footpaths across the Benton Hall Golf Course onto to Isham's Chase. Further along we reached Glen Chantry where we admired the beautiful garden. We walked across open fields into woodland and onto Witham Road where we had good views over open countryside. In no time at all we had reached The Green Man having worked up a good appetite. The food was excellent, as was the company and  lunch was enjoyed by all.

The October walk will start from the The Star pub, The Street, Steeple, CM0 7LF. Please arrive for 10:00 when we will be able to pre order our lunch. The walk will start at 10:30 and is some 4 miles across farmland and up onto the sea wall with views across the Blackwater and the mud flats. We will continue through woods and farmland with part being on public roads before returning to the pub for lunch. Cars can be parked in the pub car park. Please let me know if you will be coming on the walk and if you will be staying for lunch by no later than the 9th September.
