We've left Dog Kennel Wood and are walking along Cam Lane.

There's a pool of water which you can't see in Photo 12 but it looked like there were a scattering of dried red lentils on the bottom - various suggestions as to what they actually were.

We left Cam Lane to descend the Steps to the Lake

Beth was in the Elite group.  Here they are walking round the Lake in the main group's footsteps.  

They had set off down Snake Hill only to leave after a few yards to walk round the front of the Hall, past the Stables (The Shop) and down the side road leading to Berkeley Drive, back into the Car Park and picked up the main group's route
