Eighteen of us wrapped up warm and met in Huldenberg for an invigorating walk on a sunny but cold day. We were led by Bonnie and shepherded along by Daisy, the new dog on the walk.
Heavy rain overnight had left muddy paths and pond-sized puddles, but these were nimbly negotiated or skirted by our intrepid band. The pace was brisk, even uphill, thanks to the chilly little wind that was blowing.
Sights along the way included a very large bird of prey (an eagle?). Paulette's knowledge of birds would have been invaluable! And where was Jane Geers when there were giant unfamiliar plants to be identified? (It's OK Jane, we know you're off to the sun!)
We were all ready for a hot drink by the time we reached Rochus, where we found Sheila and Vyvyan already enjoying the famous pancakes, as several other members of the group were also quick to do!
Thank you, Bonnie, for a lovely walk that was thoroughly enjoyed by all.

Many thanks to Margaret for the photos and write-up of today's walk.
