Our latest walk took place on Tuesday, 2nd May
Paul: “Lovely weather today for a fascinating & scenic walk around this historic airfield. We had 15 walkers (plus “Sidney” the beautiful & very well behaved doggie (Retriever Poodle? / Golden Doodle?), and 23 persons for lunch”.
The route took them to, and around, the former WW2 and Cold War RAF airfield at Tarrant Rushton. The walk of 5.3 miles, comprised a country lane, a farm road, the former taxiways and a stopover at the RAF & SOE memorial. Lunch was at the “True Lover’s Knot”.

A similar walk to the one on 13th Dec, planned for 15th November, had to be postponed due to heavy rain and strong winds. However they were still able to meet for lunch at the Carpenter’s Arms. Here are some photos!

Our walk on 26th July was in the New Forest and based on the scenic Holmsley Inclosure. It was 4.6 miles, hence shorter than some previous walks. Lunch was at the White Buck in Burley. One of Paul’s favourite New Forest pubs! As usual, everyone was welcome to join them – whether for the walk or the lunch, or both.
