down Snake Hill - Blackthorn Blossom
We walked round the Picnic Area and climbed up the Long Steps to the Lake and walked round. As we walked along the eastern shore we saw a Heron come into land in the north east corner.
We walked up the steps on to Cam Lane, walked to Hawks Clough and dropped down into Green Wood, round he back of ASDA and back up on to Cam Lane.
We turned left and walked to the end of Cam Lane, crossing Sheephill and entered Glenmore walking through Sheephill Wood to come out on Sheephill. We crossed the road and walked along the path, over the road bridge and entered the Park again walking over the Peter Wragg Bridge

Michael's bike. I had ridden from home - 2.69 miles, to avoid Police blockades, only allowed to use the car for shopping etc.. It is downhill most of the way and I freewheeled down, Berkeley Drive, Nell Lane, Lydiate Lane,Fowler Lane and some of Croston Road - 3.37 miles
No Elite walk today
Today's walks (Red Main Group, Green Short Walk Option Group). Not the usual map but maps from MapMyWalk
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 >>. similarly for the blue arrows
Compiled by Michael Swarbrick with grateful to Jimmy for bumping into me, not literally he kept 2 metres away. The walk was 3.4 miles
