Today we had thirty-six walkers for James' walk although sixteen of them preferred a shorter walk

A dry autumn morning.

James led the main group with Sheila back marker.

Maggie led the Elite group with Frankie back marker.  

James took us down Snake Hill

I've cobbled this photo up from three of Frankie's photos.

They walked round the Picnic Area, over the Stone Bridge, up Bikers Hill into Walkers Wood, into Cock Cabin Wood, out on to the Cycle Path again to the Cinder Path.

Leaving the Cinder Path they walked up the Hall Drive, Round the front and side of the Hall to Snake Hill and back to the Visitors Centre.  A rather long walk?

Where there are green arrows on the red route it means the Elite walkers had followed the main >> or the main group had followed the Elite walkers >>.  similarly for the blue arrows
