A lovely sunny morning. Thirty-eight walkers and a dog took part today including one from New Zealand.
Carmel was leading, Michael S was back marker. Peter was leading the Optional Short Walk Group with Suzie as back marker
Carmel set off round the side of the Barn and through the path past Sue Ryder's Cafe.

The short option walkers, who like to be called the elite group, were close behind

As we came to the end of the Cinder Path Brenda tried to make friends with one of the cows, just shows they are more frightened of us than we should be of them.

We climbed over the M6 heading for the northern area of the Park. Here the elite walkers deviated to look for Dragonflies round the Dragonfly Pond, as we carried on to the A49.
We negotiated the roads and entered the Park

Carmel paused to check that we were all OK alongside the water.

Back in the main area of the Park and walking back up to the bridge over the M6. I think Photo 8 is a different view.
The elite walkers had crossed back over the bridge and walked along the Cycle Track to Cock Cabin Wood. We followed them, now out of sight, but we avoided Cock Cabin Wood and went straight down Bikers Hill towards the Stone Bridge whereas the elite walkers had gone down into Walkers Wood first.
We followed the path of the elite walkers back to the Barn
