Saturday 5th October A Thomas Hardy Autumn Walk

10.30 am: The walk will begin at the AGM venue: St. Andrew's Church Hall, Church Rd, Preston, Weymouth DT3 6BU, where there is ample car parking. (Grid reference: SY706829). Church Road leads directly off the A353.

The walk, led by Dr Tony Fincham (THS Chairman), will be 8-9 miles through the countryside of The Trumpet-Major and 'The Melancholy Hussar of the German Legion', returning along the coastal path.

There are some steep gradients and proper walking boots or shoes are essential.

Please bring a packed lunch because our intended lunch stop pub (The Sly Fox) has suddenly closed down.

The walk will finish in good time for the start of the AGM at 5pm; prior to which drinks and other refreshments will be available for thirsty walkers!

There are two fish-and-chip shops and a pub (The Spice Ship) very close to the AGM venue at the conclusion of the walk.
