Photos by Michael - Please click on photos to see a larger one

Another fine morning.  Twenty-five walkers - Bernadette, Carole, Colin C, Colin D, David, Elizabeth M, Frankie, Graham, Ilene, Irene S, James, Jennifer, Joyce, Lawrence, Linda D, Linda E, Linda P, Margaret, Michael, Pat, Paul, Peter, Sandy, Suzie and Zandra.  

Twenty-five is our highest number of walkers to date - a record!

Michael was leading and started by going through the car park to help people to put things in their cars before we got going.

We walked round the Hall and along James' Walk on to the Cinder Path.

Continuing along the Cycle Track to Cock Cabin Wood and round the pond leaving the wood and entering Walkers Wood.

where we caught up with Peter and Suzie who had 'missed out' Cock Cabin and Walkers Woods.  Here Carole and Linda D joined them in the walk up Snake Hill and back to the Barn, green rout and arrows.

We climbed the steps up to the Lake after crossing the Picnic Area.

Circumventing the Lake we climbed up into the field only to walk back down again to the entrance to Dog Kennel Wood

Progressing through Dog Kennel Wood into Gravel Hole Wood Michael, at the back now, looks longingly over the gate into the Cow Field.  Some of us find the stiles very difficult and are intimidated by the cows so the walk through the field is out of bounds at the moment.

Crossing the Wooden Bridge I got involved in a discussion on 'leave or stay'.

We arrived back at the Barn for our tea/coffee and biscuits.
