15 on today’s walk
That included Paul’s daughter Naomi, who is here on a short visit
It was also nice to see Colin again who has returned from the UK
This
is our last Summer Walk of this year
Next week we start our new Monday Ramblers 4-6 hour day walks
In preparation we did this slightly longer, and higher, circular walk
Last time we did it towards Parcent, this time in reverse
It was much easier and more enjoyable this way
I
was directed to do the “sweetie round” as the terrain was difficult
It was nice to get away from the roads in the valley, and to enjoy the scenic view during our banana break
For
new members this is the first walk “off the beaten track”
And we were fortunate to have such good weather to enjoy it
Jan did back marker, and it was necessary in this terrain
I
have also asked everyone to walk behind me and in front of Jan
This
allowed me to regulate the pace to ensure that everyone enjoyed the walk
Everyone
understood, and Jan enjoyed using her whistle
All
but one of the summer group have signed up for the longer day walks
We
are really looking forward to doing some old favourites after such a long break
We
also hope to see some of our UK based members again
We ended the walk with a nice drink at Bar Claudia in Jalon
