WEDNESDAY 4 NOVEMBER 2009
Meeting point; The Plough at Leigh
weather: brisk breezes, sunny and clear in the morning, 1500 rain
Walkers: Farty, Token, 12 legs, Clat.
Quite a few groups of walkers to be found, thankfully, not in our way. One, belonged to a group of 4-wheeler Morgan owners, who left their prized possessions outside the pub.
A bit wet underfoot, but on the whole, a good day for walking - views and vistas excellent, although the wind has blown off what were fabulous leaf colours. One couple were observed walking straight through a field of freshly sown crops - honestly! We, on the other hand, kept to the side and tutted a lot. One field did have livestock, much to the alarm of Chris (understandably), so Farty and Token 'headed them off at the pass', but those young bullocks were very interested in black , furry bundles of dog. Unfortunately Chris lost her oranges and water, running across said field, but we made it to the other side o.k.
Not much to pick, and hardly any places to relieve oneself - that cold wind does get into the vitals. No 'find of the day' today, but the pub was good as usual. This is a good venue for all of us we think, so Clat and Mon are going to draw up some more walks from here.
Right - next walk - Wednesday 11th november, which will start from the Hedgehog pub, in Copthorne. 12 legs know the venue, but, take exit junction 10 off m23, at the second roundabout - Duke's Head, take second turning - Mill Lane, (which is showing as 'road closed', but go down in). Go past the school, keep going, and the pub is at the bottom - got it? good luck - see you there next week, at 1030.
