The weather looked doubtful, but well dressed-
The April walk was in the Linton area and, passing under the M50, we were greeted with a splendid view of the lakes with a very fast fall of water from one lake to the other. Further along some very nice houses came into view where brass sculptures, lovely pet chickens, alpacas, and a strange twiggy garden ornament were encountered, as well as a water feature installed in a wall by Mr. Palin (Michael's grandfather) which supplied the locals with running water up to the 1960's. There was just time to visit the church before the rain hastened us
back to our cars -
It was a lovely day in May for the "Bluebell Walk" which started along the lake at
Soudley, leading over the road to the woods where we were met by a blanket of bluebells,
stretching as far as the eye could see and enveloping us in their perfume. A very
nice peaceful walk in the cool of the woods -
Walking
We meet on the 2nd Monday of each month at 9.45am.
We enjoy walking, and don't we have some beautiful countryside to enjoy right on
our doorstep? Members take it in turns to find and lead walks within a 10 mile
radius of Ross. Our walks are about 3 or 4 miles each and take approximately
1.5 to 2 hours, giving us time to enjoy all that nature has to offer. The weather
in 2008 demonstrates the value of good boots and a stick!
