All Health Walks have been cancelled but Jimmy and Michael turned up to walk.
I didn't take any photos today so I've used some I took yesterday on a similar walk with Sheila
We set off into the Pinetum, down Cardiac Hill, along the Cycle Path, up between Gravel Hole Wood and Black Banks Wood into

the Cow Filed and up on to Cam Lane.
We walked south on Cam Lane, crossed Sheep Hill Lane and entered Glenmore following the path up on to Back Lane and down the path opposite the Ley Inn into the south side of the Park, crossing Wood End Lane and walking round the three ponds and back down the path to join the Cycle Path walking back north, crossing Town Brow and entering the Park to walk along the path to the Stepping Stones.
