Today we only had twelve walkers walkers and no rain although we expected bucket loads.
Michael was leading the main walk, James was back marker. Suzi was leading the short walk option but there were only two of them
Michael introduced the walk and set off, all walkers following, round the west of the Barn and through Sue Ryder's car park, the front of the Hall and along the path to Snake Hill.
At Snake Hill we all walked up past the new building and entered the Pinetum. We walked down to Cardiac Hill, down the hill over the Wooden Bridge. Here

A we came down the Long Steps to walk along the bottom of the Dam we spotted Suzi & Ann who crossed the Stone Bridge and walked up Snake Hill
We followed them across the bridge but turned up Bikers Hill into Walkers Wood. We left the wood and entered Cock Cabin Wood, walking round the Pond and back down Bikers Hill to pick up the trail blazed by Suzi and Ann.

I persuaded everyone to stop, as we used to do at Gregsons' Seat to get our breath back, and pose for a photograph.
We continued up the hill turning off through the kissing gate to walk round the south side of the Hall and back to the Barn following Suzi and Ann
