Forty-two walkers this morning, sixteen, a record, opted for the short walk
Michael was leading the main walk with James Mc back marking. Brian L was leading the optional short walk group with Peter W back marking.
Cool, would it rain? It didn't
Michael led us into the Pinetum, up to the Viewing Area and down Cardiac Hill across the Wooden Bridge, up into Gravel Hole Wood passing into Dog Kennel Wood and through the Kissing Gate into the Field on to Hawks Clough.

past the Ponderosa, along Cam Lane, down Sheephill Brow and Back into the Park. We walked along the Cycle track to the Wooden Bridge, up Cardiac Hill into the Pinetum and back to the Barn
The Elite walkers, walked round the sunny side of the Hall and down Snake Hill, up into Walkers Wood emerging on to the Cycle Track and walking along to the far entrance to Cock Cabin Wood. They walked round Cock Cabin Wood in a clockwise direction then down Bikers Hill to the Stone Bridge.
At the Stone Bridge, after some discussion, the group divided, six walking back up Snake Hill to the Barn and the other ten walked along the river, over the Wooden Bridge, up Cardiac Hill into the Pinetum and back to the Barn.
