Woke up this morning and the rain was hissing down.   That’s the walk for today gone for a Burton, I thought.  However, by 10 o’clock the sun was shining brightly when six of us met at Eling Mill for Michael Page’s last scheduled walk.     

Just for a change it was decided to do the walk anti-clockwise so off we started at a good pace.   Stopping at a bridge to look back over the water we spotted an egret.   Carrying on we traversed the cemetery chatting all the way.   Then we pressed on towards Goatee Beach (and that’s a misnomer)  winding our way back via St Mary’s church and back across the causeway to the mill and the cars.   

Big thank yous were  expressed to Mike for keeping us all exercised for so long.   We’ve appreciated his efforts for some years for his monthly walks.   They will continue in the future but not on a monthly basis.   Charmian  and I will probably arrange two or three a year but maybe there are some members out there who may be willing to introduce us to some of their favourite walks.   Just one here or there would be good, think about it.

See you all at the Wednesday meeting.    Ken.
