28 of us walking today
I think this is the largest group we
have led so far
We like to keep the numbers from 16 to 20
But we have had a lot of new members
since the end of summer
We have also had a lot of non residents visiting at the same time
We only had 18 last week, which shows how much it can change from one week to the next
Also there are four regular members missing this week
So it could easily have been 32 walking today
We were lucky to have a lovely sunny
morning
This follows three weeks of overcast
and wet weather
So the sun was particularly
appreciated
The group photo looks more like a coach trip than a Monday Ramblers walk
With such a large group it is
impossible to see what is happening at the back
So I was pleased when David offered to do “back marker”
At the start of the walk I reminded
everyone that we walk at the pace of the slowest
And that the only way I can do that is if they don’t overtake me
Again more important with such a large group
And I was pleased that no one did
Before we left the square Jan told the
bar staff that there would be a large group today
They don’t like us to move the tables,
and it can be difficult to sit the group together
Today they reserved enough tables so that we could group together
They also asked us t o get our own
drinks from the bar
Which we were pleased to do
The last thing we want to do is upset
the bar and not be welcome when we visit again
Lucky we did tell them
Because it was crowded and we would have had problems finding any tables
We spent about an hour sitting in the
square
A lovely end to a lovely walk
Walking down our favourite street to the car park
