This report is dedicated the Elizabeth of Blackburn who always reads my reports.

Thursday 22nd November -  Starting from the Barn today we were seven, several of the regulars were unable to come.  Perhaps the threat of heavy rain deterred some of us but it was dry and relatively warm.  Fortunately the rain only started while we were enjoying our tea/coffee and biscuits.

We had a new walker, only a visitor because she is something of a globetrotter.  We had a request to walk along the Cinder Path so we headed off in that direction.  Cock Cabin Pond and Wood then eventually across the stone bridge and up to the Lake and round the Lake

Just over the fence in the Nature Reserve, I've decided they're 'brackets' but that's as far as I've got identifying them.
