A lovely crisp morning
41 walkers!!!! A new record smashing the old one. Michael was leading, Carmel was back marker and Peter leading the Elite walk, seven today
Michael led off down into the Pinetum down Cardiac Hill, over the Wooden Bridge and up the path between Gravel Hole Wood and Black Banks Wood entering Gravel Hole Wood and walking on through Dog Kennel Wood.
Leaving Dog Kennel Wood we turned right through the kissing Gate into the Field. We Climbed up to the top and down the steps to the Lake

and are quite stretched out now walking round the Picnic Area but we got together again soon.
We crossed the Stone Bridge and walked up the Cycle Track and dropped down into Walkers Wood where we spotted the Elite walkers through the trees coming down the Cycle Track
The Elite walkers had walked round the sunny side of the Hall and down to the Stone Bridge where they paused for a rest and then turned back and walked ahead of us on our path into Walkers Wood doing the same homeward route as us.
We came out on to the Cycle Track only to leave it again to go into Cock Cabin Wood. We walked round the pond and knowing it was too wet along the Cinder Path we went back down the Cycle Track towards the Stone Bridge but turned up Snake Hill.
Remarkably we were now all together again as we climbed up Snake Hill and no one felt it necessary to sit down on the seat as we neared the top.
