Thirty people joined our walk from Netley Abbey along
to Royal Victoria Country Park. We stopped at the Water
Fowl Lake to watch the ducks , geese and moorhens before
moving into the Park. A path through the woods led us
to a rest area where many of us made for the cafeteria for
refreshments all round. We then followed the inland
path for a while before circling round past the Chapel (
all that is left of the Military Hospital building ) down
to the edge of Southampton Water. Our plan to finish
along the foreshore had to be changed because the tide had
not dropped enough to give a clear beach. Back at the
Abbey balloons and ball point pens were given to the
children in recognition of their completing the walk.
