Fleet Footed

An early morning walk around the Fleet on a Sunday morning may not be everyone's cup of tea, but we saw the sun, which recently has been sadly lacking.

The club walks ably organised by Jill Vines, reached its zenith with the final walk of the year.

Meeting at the Army's Bridging Camp entrance on the aptly named Camp Road in Weymouth, 12 club members and two dogs set off for a six mile circular walk around the fleet lagoon, Haven Holiday Park, Chickerell firing range, Chickerell camp and East Fleet Farm.

Starting in sunshine and blue skies, the rain from the previous few days had made the going 'greasy' to say the least and as the walk progressed so did the clouds and some two and a half hours later after setting off a fine drizzle ensured that we all went back to the club wet.

At least there was a hearty hot roast to welcome the intrepid ramblers.

Joining us on the walk was newly elected trustee Simon Vines.

So with the last walk of this year under our belts its now time to go sailing.
