Pauline Wade's Last Walk
After many years of taking a group of walkers all over Wiltshire, Hampshire and Dorset Pauline took us on her last guided walk on Thursday 16th July. In our usual way we took the bus from Salisbury, this time going to Woodfalls. We collected another member of the team and headed for Hale, passing Hale House and onwards. We stopped at Hale Church, where extensive grass cutting was taking place in th cemetery. It was soon time for a break, we all sat on the wall drinking various beverages and biscuits. Our leader quickly said 'onwards group'. The route took us across the New Forest to Woodgreen then along the road over the river Avon to Breamore. At the Bat and Ball we had a farewell lunch, and in appreciation for all her past efforts Pauline was presented with a small silver charm in the form of a walking boot.
