A lovely autumn morning!

Again we had 13 walkers today - Carmel, Carol, Carole, Elizabeth E, Ian, Irene T, Linda D, Linda E, Maureen, Michael, Paul, Sandy and Sue.

Michael was leading and was determined to do something different.

We set off down Snake Hill and over the Stone Bridge.   We walked up into the field and at the top of the rise Sue decided to do a shorter route and Carmel kindly joined her for company - green route.

We carried on to the end of the field and at Hawks Clough dropped down into Green Wood, usually we go up past the Ponderosa but Michael likes to avoid that and it's a long time since we walked through the wood in a clockwise direction.  It's also more challenging because of having to climb the two flights of steps

We're at the highest point now and starting on our way back.

I don't remember the sun shining before in the Green Wood.

Starting the climb up to Cam Lane.  Here Michael likes to cross Cam Lane and go down the field but some of us don't like the cows and stiles so we walked to the end of Cam Lane, crossed Sheephill Lane and

walked down Sheephill - most of the path is above the road and separated from it - and intothe Park at the bottom of Town Brow.   Here six of us decide to stick to the Cycle Track while the others walked along the river - blue route.

We joined them again for the climb up Cardiac Hill and were relieved to get back to the barn for refreshments.  Linda D had brought an anniversary cake.  Tomorrow is the fifth anniversary of the first Health Walk from the Barn
