 A lovely walk in hot sun today for 27 ladies. The theme was making long chains of people in fields! Thanks Steph - just a shame we walked up a stream which was very muddy in the last bit as I had to clean my boots! - Caroline S   It seems all we do is eat and drink! A lovely walk from Oakwell Hall for 25 ladies.
Thanks Amanda - Caroline S  "5 fools meet up on the first of April from a lovely walk in the rain. It was the damp, misty and drizzling kind, so could have been a lot worse. The scenery as walked around Metham was lovely, including steep hills, woods, deep ravines, rivers, leats, moor's ,reservoirs, two rope swings (tried and tested) and mud, mud and more mud and rain, rain and more rain. A few "Swifty bonuses" were included to keep us all happy. Just as we were getting back to the cars, the sun came out and the sky was blue, so celebrated everything with a drink in the local pub.   Thank you Barbara, we all said that we love to do the walk again on a nicer day, when the mud has dried up and we could enjoy actually seeing the views."
 On Thursday the moral of the tale was.. if you save your best boots for Coniston make sure the 'spares' are serviceable!
Having said that, Anne's best boots used at Coniston suffered a similar fate ... so the replacement flask sock was put to good use very soon after splitting the pair. I wonder how long the current stripy flask sock will last? - Caroline  Linda's walk from Worsborough country park on 22nd February was braved by four of us. It was quite eventful as Nita's boot sole was coming away shortly into the walk. It never entered her head to turn back - the trusty flask sock and a spare shoelace were used as a fix. Later in the walk our eagle eyed leader, Linda, spotted a strong, sturdy elastic band on the pavement and saved it for later. A very good plan as Nita's other sole started to come away near the end of the walk! So we all survived the mud and saw our first lambs of the year. The moral of the tale is ... if you save your best boots for Coniston make sure the 'spares' are serviceable! - Caroline   sUN 25TH FEB 2024 - COPPERMINES 8 of us set off from Monk Coniston House on an 8 mile walk. Not knowing we would end up at the Beautiful Coppermine village made even nice by the Sunshine.      Anne's walk round Harewood on Sunday was blessed with good walking weather. Deer, Red Kites and Snowdrops were a bonus as was the outdoor gym session! Thank you to all who joined us and made it a fun day. - Gwenda.  Barbara, Linz and I had a super walk this morning. We started with blue skies, saw a full rainbow, experience strong gusts of wind and some rain. Our walk took us through woods and fields, up a couple of hills and down again - all very beautiful scenery. We came across a rope swing in Deffer woods and we all had a go. Yes there was some mud, but hey it's winter. - Lise  Free parking at Anglers as the machine wasnt working - again - but why should we complain. 25 ladies enjoyed a walk through lovely scenery. We had lunch by the shores of the lower lake at Nostell Priory, with time to admire the waterfall. Having managed to guide people away from mud for most of the walk I led them over a very, very muddy field en route to Anglers! Thanks for your company ladies! - Lise   Everyone was keen to get out in the fresh air today ... and no rain for the first time in weeks. 33 of us slipped and slided our way through some mud and negotiated our way over some tricky stiles - a proper work out to start the New Year.
Thankyou for joining me, Caroline |
