About the event
Thursday 1st August
East of Egdon (The Return of the Native): Lead by Tony Fincham, with music provided by Ruth & Colin Thompson.
Coach departs Top O' Town Car Park 13.30 for a musical excursion to Alderworth, Eustacia and Clym's marital home and a walk to the Devil's Bellows, Rimsmoor Pond and Oker's Pool; and thence to Winfrith Heath for a short walk on an unspoilt stretch of Egdon and a reenactment of the gipsying, where Wildeve and Eustacia danced passionately together. En route we pass Rainbarrow, The Quiet Woman, Shadwater Weir, Stickleford and Throop Corner. Both walks less than a mile in length; uneven ground to reach Oker's Pool. Cost: £20.00
