We had planned to do this walk three weeks ago
First we had to cancel due to wet weather
Then we had to cancel all walks for two weeks due to illness
We almost had to cancel again today
All week the forecast was overcast with rain
But two days ago it lost the rain in the forecast
So we kept our fingers crossed and went ahead
Unfortunately Roger, who asked us to do this walk, missed it due to trip to UK
Another five cancelled just before the walk
So 7 of us turned up on a cold and overcast morning
As we prepared to start the walk we wondered if we should have cancelled again
But within an hour the sky had started to clear and the sun appeared.
The first part of the walk was wet and very slippery
But the ground had dried long before our banana break
It was so pleasant at our picnic spot that no one wanted
to leave
The difficult going during the first part of the walk
added an hour to the time
It was a tired, but very happy, group who finally got back to the cars
Time taken – 5.5 hours
Distance – 10 km
Temperature – 8-14c
Total Ascent – 350 metres
