Thursday 14th August
Almost 8 miles. We walked over to Testwood Lakes, where we had a coffee from the flask.
A Sailability session was in progress. A retired OS worker came over and talked to us a while.
We continued round the northern end of the lake, and down across the bridges
(one of which was blocked…) and then past Nursling Mill.
Our return route was via the Test Way, close to the railway and Nature Reserve.
We spent a while picking two tubs full of rather excellent blackberries. Quality was carefully tested as we picked. Another pause on a bridge to load them properly in the backpack and drink some water.
On a little further along a shaded (and in places muddy!) path, then along the boardwalk. One section was broken and missing.
Through to Totton Civic Centre and park area, and into town to buy sandwiches and a lead to recharge my phone. Back to devour food and drink more water, before returning home via Rum Walk.
