Janet's Sunny Summer Walk in Neerijse

We were delighted to welcome new walker Pat today, and what a wonderful walk she chose for her first outing with us.

That may sound as if I'm boasting a bit, being the official walk leader.  But given that I can take no personal responsibility for the weather, the route or the scenery, and given that half the walkers there could have led the walk instead of me ... I'm saying it!

The weather was glorious, and the wild flower displays almost eclipsed the fact that we were walking beside a delightful small river.

It's a route that we try to take in spring, when the cherry trees are out - but at this time of year it was truly beautiful.  Although the odd still-not-dried-out patch of mud reminded us that this is a route best avoided in wet weather!

Several photos today - enjoy!






Can anyone tell us what this way of linking hands to form a chair to carry someone is called in English?  Une Chaise Bordure en Francais.













And here's the map of the walk if anyone would like to try it on their own
