Today we had forty-three walkers

Rather dull for our walk but dry.

Irene S led the main group with Carmel mid-marker and Marilyn and Michael G back markers.

Maggie led the Elite group with Colin C back marker.

Coming out into the 'light', this photo was one eighth of a second exposure

We crossed the Wooden Bridge and walked up into Gravel Hole Wood, crossing the Women's Institute Bridge into Dog Kennel Wood, leaving the wood to climb up into the Field, down the steps to the Lake, round the Lake, down the Long Steps to the Picnic area, walking along the bottom of the Dam, crossing the Stone Bridge, up Bikers Hill

The elite walkers walked round the 'sunny' side of the Hall and going in the opposite direction to the main group, cutting out James' Path, along the Cinder Path, into Cock Cabin Wood out and down Bikers Hill to the Stone Bridge.

Over the Stone Bridge and up the Slope to the Lake - why didn't the main group come across them?

Round the Lake, down the Long Steps, along the bottom of the Dam and along the Cycle Path to the Wooden Bridge, up Cardiac Hill, into the Pinetum and back to the Visitors Centre.

Today's walks (Red Main Group, Green Short Walk Option Group).  
Where there are green arrows on the red route it means the Elite walkers had followed the main >> or the main group had followed the Elite walkers >>.
