Mileaters Walk 19th July 2024

The first early tongue in cheek communications regarding the walk suggested that a backup day would be unnecessary as the planned day would be extremely hot and sunny. And so it turned out. Too hot for some, particularly that first stretch from Stratton towards Crete Hill where there is no shade and the sun merciless. 

However the track soon levelled off and there were no deserters, by the time we reached Jackmans Cross and the coffee stop everyone was in brighter mood.

The walk was splendid with fine views over Charminster Down, lots of chat and good humour.

Lunch was a picnic on the green at Stratton, and since we were near our cars we could indulge ourselves with chairs, gaining some shade from the Sycamore trees.

A very good group of Mileaters who had a splendid morning walk of around 5.5 miles.
