<p><strong>Summer Ramble</strong></p>



<p>The 1st August bought a lovely summers day, warm and mellow at the same time.tinges of early autumn dry days,a lovely bakers dozen met and started from the swimming pool car park and chugged up the German path towards tyre,we crossed a field with the only two stiles on the walk.Alas there were two dogs with us who found difficulty getting over so they went a short roadway meeting us on the White House lane path! Well ! We thought this but lost them both for a temporary time! We sent the main party on while a couple of us went to find the dogs and dog owners! Meanwhile a third person left the walk after only just starting the walk, not sure what the reason was but we were three down in the early part of the proceedings! Not experienced loosing walkers so soon in the proceedings! However it was good to hear that we bought home a very happy bunch of walkers who had enjoyed the walk and the views and were sure to repeat again soon! Lookout for the autumn walk on Friday 31st October.</p>
