Jubilee Trail to Maiden Castle and loop back. Approximately 4.5 miles, some uneven terrain. Refreshments at Vivo Lounge, Brewery Square, Dorchester.
Nice walk, and a good turnout ( 6 people and 4 dogs). A change to the route made it a bit longer than expected and the clouds in the photos decided to produced sufficient rain to get us wet near the end of the walk. Vivo Lounge welcomed four soggy people and three soggy dogs entry for much needed refreshments.

Good turnout for the Osmington Mills walk. Glorious weather for the 13 people and 3 dogs that took part! Pat lead the walk, being her territory, and gave us some historic information en route. Refreshments were taken sitting in the sun at the Smugglers. A very enjoyable way to spend a bank holiday.

Pirates Cove walk. The sun shone, the mud had dried up, the tide was almost out and the company was as entertaining as ever. Lovely walk from Pirates’ Cove by the Fleet Lagoon, followed by generous refreshments at The Fat Badger. Rufus and Bonnie were model pups!

Much better weather for our circular walk today starting at Radipole Park small car park. We walked around the Lake, to the beach, and Lodmoor Country Park. The Caddy Shack provided a delicious brunch, before returning to Radipole Park. Pat, Val, Susan and Jackie joined Angie for the walk along with Rufus, Lottie and Bonnie. All had a lovely time.

Another muddy Lorton Meadows walk with Caroline, John, Liz, Angie and dogs, Rufus and Tess. We ended up taking a different route as the cows were in a field on the planned route. We didn’t have time for refreshments. Just as well because the Caddy Shack was closed! A good walk considering 🙂
