We cancelled the Monday walk last week due to heavy rain
We almost did the same again today, for the same reason
But we really didn’t want to cancel two weeks in a row
So we advised everyone that we would meet in Jalon whatever the weather
We were very pleased that 13 turned up
Only three missing out of the original group of 16
The weather forecast improved and promised a dry day
However it started to rain as we left the house to drive to Jalon
We were undecided whether to do Lliber Hidden Valley or Jalon to Parcent
But the majority voted for Hidden Valley
This was also my choice
Because next week is also forecast rain all day
And we now have Jalon to Parcent in reserve if we need it
The rain stopped just as we started the walk
It was cloudy all day, but no more rain
And warm enough to walk in shirt sleeves before too long
This is the longest run of rain forecast that I can remember
But I am glad that we ignored the forecast today
It was really good to walk with the group again
Fingers crossed that the forecast is also wrong for next Monday
Time taken – 5.5 hours
Distance – 15 km
Total Ascent – 245 metres
Temperature – 9-18c
