Today we had thirty-three walkers
Rather dull for our walk but dry.
John W led the main group with James back marker.
Sue led the Elite group with Margaret W back marker.
John led the main group down Snake Hill with the Elite group following. Over the wooden Bridge, round the Picnic area up the Long Steps to the Lake. Round the Lake but at the south east corner the Elite walkers went up into Dog Kennel Wood.
John continued round the Lake, through the Kissing gate, up the Steps into the Field

and along Cam Lane to Hawks Clough

You can just make out the Ponderosa which will gradually come into view when all the leaves have gone.

Resting before our descent to the Cycle Path and over the Wooden Bridge, up Cardiac Hill into the Pinetum.
Here the Elite walkers had carried up Cardiac Hill passed the Walled Orchard into the Car park and back to the Visitors Centre
but the main groups went straight up the side back to the Visitors Centre
