Well, it all seemed very well organised. Helen had printed off copies of a 5.5 mile walk and the team were (almost) raring to go!
Unfortunately, she hadn't factored in that Dianne and Sheila were blind without their glasses. No matter. Doreen had good leadership skills, so the four of them set off!
We knew the area, but covered new ground and bumped into some new friends!
It was pretty obvious as we hit 5 miles that the route was wrongly measured. We still had Bagber Common to cross and then on to Stalbridge Lane.
We managed to find our way (just) and hit the lane as it became really too dark to be out. Dianne phoned Ron who didn't seem to mind that she was out in the wilds of Dorset.

Chris seemed pretty calm about it too - she was safely tucked up in Poole. And Karine? Karine was keen to pick us up - especially when we mentioned the Chip shop!
Back to the car park by 9.15! Yes, 9.15! With just under 8 miles completed, a letter is surely winging its way to the magazine?
