Pippa, Linzi, Kate, Wendy, Moira and Carolle enjoyed beautiful sunshine for an easy flat walk all around the Park including  crossing through the middle to take in the lakes.

Beautiful trees.  A beautiful morning as Spring surrounded us in a real attempt to push that long winter well and truly behind us.

 Thank you Pippa for organising it at the last minute.   How fortunate that you and Linzi unwittingly tested all this for us last week!
