The Devil's Punchbowl

We've just come back from a lovely walk around the Devil's Punch Bowl near Hindhead in Surrey. It's been another glorious day and a lovely dry, mild weekend again.

Everything looked so beautiful today I couldn't choose just one of the photos I took so I've chosen a few to hopefully give a flavour of the place.
It was very busy driving along the A3. It seemed as if the 'world and his wife' were out enjoying this spell of late sunshine - and why not!

Hindhead has always been a bit of a bottle-neck and there were signs of construction work going on for the major project of excavating a tunnel to by-pass this area. It will be a great achievement when it is finished (scheduled for August 2011!) but meanwhile of course means even more traffic jams at this point. I don't envy commuters who have to use this route daily.


The car park was chockablock as was the cafe with the young staff doing a grand job trying to cope with the endless queue for drinks and snack. Nevertheless it was a great day out. Lots of the chores were left undone but ironing and the like can be done any time, can't they?

Don't worry about the ironing ......hang them after washing and then you will need only a little elbow-grease !! The Devil's Punch Bowl.....lovely for a stroll on a Sunday and in glorious weather. Who would want to even consider 'chores' !!!!
