It was a cold, wet start but our 37 members were in good spirits.

we stopped off at Richmond on the way down for a cup of tea and the way back for fish and chips.

the A group had a challenging walk and the B group had a lovely amble, a few escapee lambs, rabbits, swifts, violets, primrose, bluebells and garlic were amongst things we spotted, we were startled by sheep and pheasants running across our paths too.

we stopped at the ice cream parlour for a cup of tea, others stopped at the copper kettle and by the time we got back to the coach the weather had turned and it was pouring.
