This month eight of us walked around Roydon Woods forecast promised it would be dry and sunny...
but we did have a sudden downpour which meant sheltering for a moment under the trees, then it brighten up and we squelched back to our cars in the sun and drove off to Mabels at Shallowmead where we enjoyed toasted tea cake and hot chocolate.
We were all caught out and sheltered under the trees!

Today seven of us met at Holmesley Passage Car park for our morning walk to Holmesley Tea room along the disused railway line on a beauitful sunny morning.
At the tea room we all had a tasty toasted tea cake, coffee, hot chocolate and of course lots of chat.
On the way back we turned off the railway track and dropped down to walk by the stream where dogs were also enjoying their morning walk. Then continued through the woods back to the car park, once again a great opportunity for fresh air, chat and a leisurely walk....

We included an additional walk this month for members wishing to enjoy a longer stroll! We arrived at Exbury Gardens at 1045 parked the car and turned right out of the parking area and walked along the road, past Exbury church on the left and then on past the entrance to Exbury house continuing along Inchmery Lane to a footpath on the left hand side of the road across a field into the woodland till we reached the signpost Lepe Loop. Following the signs until we reached Lepe Country park had a delightful lunch break before setting off again, the tide was not too high so we then had a stroll along the beach with a lot of ooh and aahing. Eventually returned back to Exbury Gardens at 1545 in time for an icecream having walked nearly five miles.
This Oak tree had such long creeping branches touching the ground what a sight to see....

For this months walk we ventured to Milford on Sea, walked through the Pleasure Grounds to Hordle Gap then along the sea wall back to The Needles cafe where we enjoyed beverages and various delightful cakes, wonderful walk!
A lovely walk in the shade of the trees
We wondered what was this growing on this tree?
