Thursday 18th May - High Hoyland, Cannon Hall Country Park and Deffer Wood.

19/5/2019

 
Lesley caught me to post this blog just before I go away - back 1st June so expect slight delays between now and then.

Here's her walk report, followed by loads of photos, with smiley faces and lots of sunshine.

​"28 ladies set off today in slight mist but with promise of the sun to come.  The walk took us downhill through fields and woods and through the country park to where we had a coffee stop at the Pavilion Cafe.

One lady who knows who she is, decided to count all the stiles and Lesley who led the walk was kept up to date just in case she didn't know!

It doesn't take much imagination to understand that 28 ladies of uncertain knees and hips, climbing over 22 stiles made the time keeping go awry which meant that 28 starving ladies had to wait until 1.15 for lunch! Plus we were delayed even more by noticing a distressed lamb which necessitated finding the farmer.  

The sun was out, the ground was dry, the views were beautiful and the conversation electric which made for a lovely day..  The drinks at the pub at the end made up for the stiles!"

Setting off. Looking forward to walking downhill!
There were a few stiles but they are no problem to us!

Of course some obstacles are just as challenging!

We found a lovely lunch spot in Deffer Wood.

​And finally, last but certainly not least ...

Congratulations to Chris.
You walked the Coast to Coast path and got the tee shirt!
