David 'volunteered' to lead.  It was a lovely sunny autumn morning again but there was a nip in the air.

There were ten of us and and David, after outlining his plan, led us off into the Pinetum.

Sue didn't want to do a long walk so Carmel went with her up to the viewing station.   The rest of us took the lower path down towards the gap in the wall.

Sue and Carmel walked round the south side of the Hall, rested for a while in the shade then walked round the font of the Hall and back to the Barn.  Blue route on the map.

Along Cam Lane and down into Green Wood up to the top and down to Hawks Clough again.  It was getting late so David led us back to the Barn over the Stone Bridge and up the hill.
