Michael was leading and we set off round the side of the Barn on to Sue Ryder's drive.   Here Sue, who doesn't like the Cinder Path and didn't want to traverse any hills carried on down the Drive to Shady Lane with Carmel and wound a tortuous route back to the Barn - green route.  We walked along the Cinder Path and the Cycle Track towards Cock Cabin Wood.

Walking round the Pond we spotted these tadpoles - you can see them if you look hard.  We walked through the wood and into Walkers' Wood then on over the Stone Bridge
