Greatham Morning Walk 9th August 2017


With rain not due to start until midday there was no need for the 12 walkers to be concerned with a slight drizzle at the start. However the drizzle turned to rain and did not stop all day, except for a few minutes when we were in the pub. The cherry plums were ripe and plentiful and in spite of the rain, everyone reached the pub in good humour even though a few were soaking wet. The food in the Hawkley Inn was very good and deserved more photographs than the weather outside. We covered the 4.1/2 miles in 2.1/2 hours. Later that day this man

  covered 3.1 miles in 13.1/2 minutes, but to be fair, he had no stiles or long wet grass to contend with, also he didn't stop for coffee.
