Today we had thirty walkers. That includes Harry who was assessing James's qualities as a leader and Anne H, her first walk with Find Your Feet.
James was leading the main walk with Carmel as back marker.
Peter was leading the Short Walk Group.
James told the walkers that he had a treat for them today - they were going to wander (not lonely) through a cloud of Daffodils. He set off through Sue Ryder's cafe mall. Crossing their car park into Wilbrahams Wood and along James' Walk lo:

Peter led the Short Walk Group following the main group into James Walk through Wilbrahams Wood.
They followed the main group but took a short diversion into Cock Cabin Wood and then avoided Walkers Wood and carried on down the Cycle Track snubbing the Stone Bridge, leaving the main group behind,
