The Elite walkers deciding who is going to lead and where they are going before setting off.  They decided to go along the Car Park then enter the Pinetum, down Cardiac Hill, over the Wooden Bridge, up into Gravel Hole Wood, through Dog Kennel Wood, out to walk round the western side of the Lake, down the Long Steps, along the bottom of the Dam, over the Stone Bridge and up Snake Hill but before the reached the Visitors Centre they deviated round the Hall, the Barn and through the Car Park to the Visitors Centre/Cafe

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 >>.
