BDLS Pub Walk

BDLS Pub Walk

Rufus Stone, New Forest - Sunday 13 April 2025

Whatbetter way to spend a Spring Sunday than a gentle stroll in the New Forest with colleagues, family and furry friends! The route took BDLS members through woodland trails to the historic Rufus Stone before making their way to the charming Sir Walter Tyrrell pub for some well-deserved food and refreshment.

Of course, no countryside walk is complete without some unexpected adventure …. and this one didn't disappoint! Two of our walkers had a particularly immersive experience when they found themselves well and truly stuck in the mud! Mentioning no names …. Ruth Elkins! True to form, our group rallied together and both were rescued with their spirits and dignity intact! Just another reminder that legal professionals really can handle any sticky situation!

Thank you to everyone who came along and made it such a great day. We can't wait to do it all again. Watch this space for our Summer walk!
