Health Walk - Thursday 17th December 2015

Spitting with rain which turned into drizzle for a while but it was quite pleasant and warm, warmer than the seasonal average.  

Sixteen people turned up to walk - Bernadette D, Carmel, Carol, Colin D, David B, David H, Elizabeth M, Graham, Helen F, Jacqueline, James, Linda E, Mary, Michael, Paul and Sue.

David H took the lead again and decided that we'd go into the dark (north) side of the Park.  Dark because we had to cross the M6 and suffer the noise of the traffic on the A49 and under the M6.

We walked down Sue Ryder Drive and along the Cinder Path coming on to the Main Cycle Track and over the M6 entering the Park from Wigan Lane, A49.

Once out of the North Park we retraced our steps back to the Barn.

Two types of fungi.  David B actually spotted others but I wasn't able to see them to get a photograph.

Peter led the short walk keeping to the top level - green route.
