8 October – Thursday Explorers - Jalon to Parcent


 

Ten of us today, the maximum allowed by the coronavirus restrictions

We welcomed Tanya and Marcel for their first walk with the group

They are a Dutch couple, and friends of Anita

It was considerably cooler than last week, especially in the woods

Although this is an old favourite walk, it was new to most of the group

Ten is a nice number, it allows everyone to mix and get to know each other

Only two of today’s group walked before the lockdown in March

Some of the previous group did not reply to our email

A few have left the group

Some have medical problems

I suspect that during the long break quite a few just found other interests

It is a shame that we will probably not see many of them again

But it is also good to have new faces and new personalities

It was also quite nice to have the home made cake which Annie supplied for our picnic

We had to wear face masks at the start, the end and walking throughout Parcent

A local police car passed us as we finished our picnic, but did not comment

I think everyone enjoyed the walk, I know that Jan and I did
