3 October 2022 – Jalon Circular to Play Area


Autumn has arrived, and with it changes in the weather

We had to cancel last week due to weather forecast of storms

As often happens there were no storms, not even heavy rain

Today the forecast was spot on – overcast but dry

It is a shame because this walk through the trees looks so much better on a sunny day

Today should have been the start of our regular walking season

But I had been looking forward to this walk

So we did an extra shorter summer walk

It is always difficult to anticipate how many will walk at the start of the season

Some regular members miss the summer walks entirely

And I am never sure whether they will return in October

There were 27 on the membership list as available

This just means that they had not told me they were not available

So I included all 27 on the initial invitation email

Five were not available

Four accepted but then cancelled before the walk

Two did not reply at all.

This left us with 16, which is the normal maximum

This included Derek, who came as a guest of Alan

Another very enjoyable walk

Time taken – 3.5 hours

Distance – 9.5 km

Total ascent – 150 metres

Temperature – 18-24c
