The Wednesday Walkers

WW 24th November 2010

Well what a gathering and what a surprise!
Even those who knew all about it were surprised
Just how surprising it was and how surprised he was
It is so surprising that any of the so youthful Wednesday Walkers
Could possibly be even 40, let alone 50 or even more
Surely not! Someone must be counting the wrong things
But whatever, it was a jolly good excuse
To have a party and celebrate all our times together
Particularly those with 'you know who'
You really did have to be there
And thank goodness he was
So a great big
HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOSSER

WW 17th November 2010

At the usual time a familiar group gathered at one of the many places we start our walks. After a brief catch up on news they set off from the cars out and along onto the moor. Following quite well known tracks, up and along and round. The ground was quite soft in places and in others not quite so. Reasonably good progress was made and generally people kept close enough together. After a suitable length of time a short stop was made to gather together and check all was as well as it should be. Onward they went until a stop was called for a warming drink, something to eat and a chat. It was not too warm and yet not really cold so after an appropriate pause off they went, now rather more downwards than upwards. Soon enough the cars were in view and the trip made to the pub. Most everyone had a drink or even two and a good long discussion of what had been, what might have been and what may be. Then the drive home. For some quite a short drive whilst for others a little bit longer. All in all a thoroughly memorable walk.

WW 10th November 2010

We were amazed
Just how much?
£138 it seems
Just walked away while
It all clonked out
Tipped it on the bar
And left it to be counted!
The things you see
If you were there
To head over North Hessary
To King's and round
To the old railway line
Back to the PoW
Henry was there
This time dressed as a cat.

WW 3rd November 2010

Yes, I guess
we can agree
that it was dark
that it was rainy
that it was misty
that it was windy
and
that it is November
but
even some of the Whitty boys
turned up at Bellever
to head over Riddon Ridge
across the stepping stones
to Laughter
and on to Bellever Tor
and
then to the empty East Dart
where we were made
very welcome
perhaps over welcome
by the bear
