Today we had thirty-one walkers.  It was a lovely sunny morning, blisteringly hot.

Carmel led the main walk with Sheila T back marking.  

Suzi led the Elite walk with Colin C back marking.

Michael S was delegated to accompany the Park's bimonthly Health & Safety Survey

The Elite walkers set off through the Car Park and down Berkeley Drive along the Cinder Path, turning right along the Cycle Track, entering Cock Cabin Wood emerging to enter Walkers Wood, down Bikers Hill and climbing back up Snake Hill back to the Visitors Centre

Sadly no one took any photos on the main group walk.  

Carmel took them into the Pinetum, down Cardiac Hill over the Wooden Bridge and turned right up into Graven Hole Wood, over the Women's Institute Bridge into Dog Kennel Wood going through the Kissing Gate into the Field.

They walked along Cam Lane through Hawks Clough up to the Ponderosa entering Green Wood and walking anti-clockwise through the wood back to Hawks Clough, along the Field, down to the Kissing Gate, down the Slope, over the Stone Bridge and up Snake Hill back to the Visitors Centre.
