March Walk

Seven of us met at Fritham determined to walk come rain or wind ! ! It was very calm and the rain stopped 10 mins after we started to walk. Peter had adjusted the route so we didn't have to cope with any muddy stretches and were able to walk on the gravel track all the time. There were some big pools to wade through and the Forest was quite soggy.But the light reflecting from the pools of water and the rushing streams held a beauty and charm all of their own. We all thoroughly enjoyed our walk. Thank you Peter.
