All Health Walks have been cancelled but Jimmy and Michael turned up to walk.
It was a miserable drizzling morning so only took two photos, really to show the gloom. There are three below but close examination will show one is just an enlargement of the other
We set off down Berkeley Drive, dodging through the buildings to reach the Hall Drive and James' Walk. There was a man, a 'marshall', on 'duty' who said it was OK to go down James' Walk.
We came back out on to the Drive then the Cinder Path walking along the Cycle Path to Cock Cabin Wood, round the Pond and back on to the Cycle Track to enter Walkers Wood coming out on to Bikers Hill to cross the Stone Bridge and Picnic area to the Long Steps up to the Lake.
Round the Lake and up on to Cam Lane walking to Hawks Clough, entering Green Wood, crossing the Footbridge and walking up the Hill to find the long steps to avoid the closed footbridge. Filtering through the house we diverted to look at Sheila's Pond before finding the path back to Green Wood.
We wandered anticlockwise through Green Wood, crossed Cam Lane to the top of the Cow Field

Looking across to Preston now hidden in the drizzle.
Down the Cow Field, between Black Banks Wood and Gravel Hole Wood, on to the Cycle Track, over the Wooden Bridge, up Cardiac Hill into the Pinetum and back to the car.
