January Walk 2010

Wednesday's walk is cancelled.

Dave decided that conditions in the Forest are very icy now and as it will not improve the walk is called off.



'Please note the Forest is still extremely wet, boggy, muddy and slippery.
About 1/3 of this walk is not on gravel tracks so perhaps in two or three places, single file on the identified firmer ground might be advisable. There is one smallish stream to cross with no bridge. Regards Dave.'

December 1st

Only 21 of us today with four dogs enjoyed a dry and mild start to the walk although three quarters through it did rain slightly, most unusual for Dave's well organized walks. It was as expected very boggy with all the recent rain after we left the defined track and this gave us some laughs and a warning that you have to be very careful in these conditions. But no harm apart from muddied clothes.
