Dull with flashes of sunshine.

We had 13 walkers today - Barbara, Brian, Carmel, Carol, Carole, Elizabeth E, Elizabeth H, Frankie, Irene T, Judy, Michael, Peter and Sue.

Michael was leading and was persuaded to do the river walk and stepping stones again

We set off down Snake Hill and over the Stone Bridge.

We crossed the Picnic Area and climbed up to the Lake, across the Dam.  Here Carole, Peter & Sue left us and followed the green route along the Cycle Track to the Covert Pond.

The rest of us climbed up into Dog Kennel Wood then Gravel Hole Wood.  We descended out of Gravel Hole Wood, crossed the Cycle Track and walked along the side of the wood cutting through the wood to the stepping stones as we approached the Covert Pond.

We didn't cross the stepping stones but walked out of the wood and along the east side of the river to the north edge of the Town Brow Car Park.

Here Carol and Elizabeth H chose to walk back along the Cycle Track where they met up with Carole, Peter and Sue who had walked to the Covert Pond.
