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....
