5 Milers - January's WalkA goodly band of walkers assembled in Swannington to walk off some Christmas Pud, and were led by Roger on what turned out to be a mystery trip full of surprises. Despite being in an area close to home for most of us, we found there are many unknown places round about, including remnants of long lost railways, hidden playgrounds and nature areas, sports fields and mature trees, and footpaths in unexpected places. Although it was a grey day it remained dry for us (not so true of conditions underfoot unfortunately) and in good time we had covered 5 miles to Snibston and back and were ready for lunch. |
