December Walk

A Picture from the December walk Eleven brave souls and me... What's that twelve? Ah one for each day of Christmas. A quick wizz round Eling. Had to be quick or we may have frozen to the spot. I stayed on to visit a few old mates who now abide on the hill and only made it home by the skin of my teeth. As I got in the heavens opened and down came the hail & sleet. Dave

Second November walk

November walk

 Just a few words about yesterday's walk led by Ken' Farleigh from Bramble Hill car park. One of the best walks I have been on for a long time. Pure forest walking, no gravel paths, lots of autumn leaves to scuff though. Bit-O-mud here and there to make it interesting,

streams to cross and time for a stop & poke about a bit. Not to leave out a company of like minded walkers and the enjoyment of their presence.

Oh! and sunshine be it hazy, to boot. The icing!!! A forest swing and  shouts of delight from one of our members [see the pic's]. Who says one is too old? All together a morning to enjoy.

Dear Leap walk

Pic's from today's walk at Dear Leap. Nice little walk nearly all on hard track, just one little muddy bit to make us feel at home... Sixteen  walkers in total.

When it was over, I didn't want to go home, went and had a look at places of my youth. Came back with a pocket full of chestnuts [ nice ones]
