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
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.

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 For those who have read my novel “ Lost at Sea” say hello to Samuel my great nephew who is the inspiration for the main character Samuel Castle .
A proud Auntie Bronners Eight brave souls turned out today (28th Dec) to walk from Anglers Country Park. We were all glad to be out and 'enjoyed' flooded fields, lots of mud, rain and sun. The weather was quite kind as we had lunch in the sun and we had a snowman to end .... etched in chocolate on the cappachino! Thank you all for coming ... and more next year .. next week at Stanley Ferry!
A very muddy walk but very enjoyable. Lots of paths I have never been on before. Nearly lost each other in the field of bio-fuel on the way back to Heath!
Thanks to Carole for leading and Pat and Keith for their hospitality and baking! |
