Sheila: "On a very rainy morning 19 intrepid walkers braved the weather sharing the experience in good chatty company. Thirteen walkers led by Sheila and back marked by John W enjoyed the longer walk with Brian leading six Elite walkers and Meg and George (our canine friends) back marked by Colin. "

Sheila got us all together and we set off down Snake Hill

Over the Stone Bridge and pausing to let everyone catch up, Sheila was setting a fast pace.

Sheila took us up the Slope into Dog Kennel Wood and through into Gravel Hole Wood descending to the Cycle Path and walking to Town Brow.

We crossed the road and walked up Sheep Hill
