January walk

December Walk

Anderwood Walk. 18 of us set out (Dillon preferred his warm bed to the cold and mud) in an overcast (but dry sky), but within 10 minutes the sun came out and remained with us to the end, the Walking Group's luck is holding out. The route was substantially changed from the original idea of walking in Mark Ash Wood, but after all the rain most of route would have been a quagmire, quite unpleasant. So the revised route was 95% on firm gravel tracks (5% slushy mud!). We spotted a lone deer just 150 yards away grazing and being in North Oakley Enclosure most of the time, we were out of the cold wind in pleasant sunshine. Another walking group of about 10 assembled in the car park with us, set off behind us, followed us for about a mile and waved goodbye as we turned off at Smokey Hole, as they headed on towards Bolderwood. All in all an enjoyable, leisurely, fairly level amble.

No photographer today so no photos

The next walk is on Friday 4th January starting from Hatchett's Pond.
