Walk Report
Witley to Haslemere, Saturday 9th October 201022 walkers, 18 miles - leader Peter Buchwald
We walked along suburban streets
Through Witley village, past a church
Forded a babbling brook into heathland
Dressed in its autumn golds and reds.
Watched comical ducks at Elstead Mill
Crossed an ancient bridge over a river
Reaching mysterious swamps and woods
To the God of Thunder's former home.
Skirted round the Devil's Punchbowl
Shrouded in swirling liquid mists
And in the woods a haunted place
Where three villains once were hanged.
We passed an old forgotten temple
A pub closed in the sleepy afternoon
Strode across green meadows and open fields
To the vibrant life of Haslemere town.
