Health Walk - Thursday 17th September 2015

Photos by Michael - Please click on photos to see a larger one

We only had eight walkers today - Ann, Carmel, Gwen, Linda E, Mary, Michael, Sandy and Sue but it was nice to see Gwen again.

David was unable to come today so Michael was the only leader present.  He took over and was determined to do something different.

We turned right along the Cycle Track and continued along not turning left up into Gravel Hole Wood as usual.

We had a 'discussion' as we reached the path up into the Pinetum and the walkers decided to cut the walk short and return through the Pinetum to the disappointment of the leader.

Jacqueline joined us for coffee in the Barn.

Today's walk.
