Route Confusion
It was the broken down lorry that caused mayhem. Commandeering the Spread Eagle Hill National Trust car park whilst it waited for recovery. The driver appealing to walkers to leave him space to transfer cargo.
I had two walks planned from here - Fontmell Down and Melbury Hill. In reality, I managed to dissect the two and develop my own route. I believe that it took in the highlights of this Area of Outstanding Beauty.
It simply means that rather than visiting Fontmell Magna (we were too early for the pub) we went to the equally wonderfully named but sadly dry Compton Abbas.
Top draw walking, as we completed a circuit of the hills.
A week of dog sitting completed. Olive will have to get used to one walk a day, instead of the three she has been enjoying at the hands of professionals.
