It was an overcast morning, rather humid but brightening up all the time James led the main walk with Maggie back marker. Suzi led the short option walk with Colin back marker. James introduced himself and back marker Maggie with his usual spark of humour. He set off through the Car Park heading for Shady Lane to take advantage of the conditions for his plans later in the walk We arrived at the footpath off to the left and walked down the field
We left the river and James took us up into Gravel Hole Wood, Dog Kennel Wood, round the Reservoir and down the Long steps to the Picnic Area, over the Stone Bridge, up Snake Hill back to the Visitors Centre The Elite group started off behind us but once through the Car Park they took the path to the sunny side of Cuerden Hall round the front and down the Drive to the Cinder Path. Leaving the Cinder Path they walked along the Cycle Track, into Cock Cabin Wood, down Bikers Hill Across the Stone Bridge, along the river, over the Wooden Bridge, up Cardiac Hill into the Pinetum and back to the Visitors Centre
