Today we had thirty-one walkers who were rewarded with a lovely walk, overcast but the colours were uplifting.  

Carmel was leading the main walk with James Mc back marking.  Peter led the Elite group with Suzi back marking.

Carmel did her introductions and led us off down Snake Hill

The Elite walkers went down the passage past Sue Ryder's Cafe, round the front of the Hall, continuing round to pick up Snake Hill, down Snake Hill,

over the Stone Bridge, along the bottom of the Dam and up the Long Steps to the Lake ahead of the main group.

Walking round the Lake they entered Dog Kennel Wood leading the main group having avoided the Field.

They climbed up Cardiac Hill but turned right through the gate post to walk alongside the new building and back to the Barn
