The leader of this morning’s five mile walk worried us at the start when he announced that on his recent recce he encountered mud so thick that it almost sucked off his boots. He then said that he’d changed the route to avoid it although this meant more walking on minor roads. We were relieved; tarmac is preferable to mud.
There were twelve on the walk. We set off from the car park in Fernhurst, headed west to join a byway that took us to High Marley, followed the lane round the top of the hill, reached Kingsley Green, stopped in sunshine for coffee and then returned to Fernhurst.
The temperature was lower than yesterday and there were more clouds but there was sunshine much of the time. Bluebells in woods were in flower as were azaleas in gardens.
