We are the Dorset 4050 Ramblers. We are a friendly, mixed-age group of walkers.
Owing to the recent very wet weather I have not had opportunity to "Recky" some new walks, so time to dig out an old favourite that will hopefully not lead us walking in extremely deep mud. We start from the Dray Horse at Brewery Square walk out to Borough Gardens, Hangmans Cottage and make our way out of Dorchester across the "flood plains !!" to Lower Bockhampton. From here we walk to Puddletown Forest, Hardy's Cottage and the Hardy Visitor Centre where we will stop for lunch. After Lunch we head towards Kingston Maward, Stinsford and back into Dorchester via Fordington.
Please text Dave the walk leader on 07766473720 if you would like to join this walk.
Please bring a packed lunch, plenty to drink and walking boots are recommended because some areas could be very wet and muddy. The weather is like to be very cold so please ensure you wear plenty of layers and clothing. This is a toilet friendly walk with toilets near the start, at the visitor centre and at the end of the walk. At the end of the walk there will be option to take light refreshments in the close by Lounge establishment.
The Dray Horse, outside of the Odeon Cinema, Dray Horse Yard, Weymouth Avenue, Dorchester. There is free street park fairly close by in Queens Avenue and Coburg Road.
