Excellent day out organised by Ray & Linda which I’m sure everyone enjoyed, I think they have a future in the club! Some roads were new to me, for example I’d never turned left out of the Old Brewery car park before. By going east we certainly got the best of the weather , the mist never cleared at home.
Many thanks to Ray and Linda and also to Nigel for his photos. Ray’s report below.
A misty start but dry roads saw 15 members sign on. At the start of the run we passed a large assembly of horses and dogs which were part of the local fox hunt. Fortunately none of the horses were spooked and everyone was very friendly. The route took us past the woods to Stour Head onto Maiden Bradley, past Shearwater and onto Boyton for a coffee stop at Ginny’s Cafe.
Returning to Sutton Veny through the Deverills into Mere, at Bowridge we diverted down past the ford back into Gillingham returning to The Old Brewery where we had lunch.
The roads were dry but caution was needed on the slippy autumn leaves but made up by the spectacle of the trees in full autumn colours. It was good to see Cliff and Herby at the start together with Mari, our President, who waved us off and then joined us for lunch. Regards Ray & Linda
Only one more run this year, our Mince Pie Run on 6 December, 11.00 at Lo’s Cafe, Pimperne. But we do have our Quiz Night this Wednesday 8.00pm at The Swan Inn, Sturminster Newton……
