The first
walk (31) of the new year was centred on the Harvest Home in Greet (Photo

2012. It was a typical winter’s day, frosty but sunny. Ideal for walking.
We all enjoyed the excellent Wye Valley HPA, one of the beers on offer, on
our return. Please click on photo for a full report. Don’t forget that new
participants are always welcome on these walks. |
