This was the first meeting of our new Monday Ramblers group
It was also the first Monday walk since lockdown in March
We have reduced the length of Monday walks so that each one will be 3-4 hours
This means most will be valley walks, with a few of the easier hill walks
Unfortunately many of the previous Monday Group are not walking anymore
Not sure why, possibly not comfortable mixing with strangers in the current situation
We hope that by offering shorter walks we may appeal to a different walking group
We were pleased to have a nice mixture of new and old faces on this first walk
Because of the coronavirus restrictions we had to limit the walk to 10
It was nice to welcome a nice mixture of new and old faces
During the summer we have created 16 suitable walks
About half are the shorter walks we did with the previous Monday Group
The other half, including todays walk, are new, but familiar
This means I can only guess in advance how long each walk is
So I have recorded today’s walk for future reference
It does mean I have to pay extra attention to what I am doing
Sometimes difficult to do when distracted by everyone chatting
