Date: 20th June
Where: Staplefield
Designer: Pete F
Pub: The Jolly Tanners
Turnout was 12 plus Tarber, including some new faces.
The weather was kind to us, a pleasant evening with only a few stretches that were slightly muddy underfoot. We started on the green opposite the Jolly Tanners and walked 7.0 miles anti-clockwise. Some of the southern paths had featured in plods of previous years but for the most part the route was new. Although not a match for some of the other walks the vistas were generally good and it was quiet.
As we emerged back on the green at the end of the walk Morris dancing was finishing at the Victory. Fortunately they had a second session booked at the Jolly Tanners. Several of our party had not heard of Morris dancing, let alone seen it. While waiting for that to start we sat out in the fine garden drinking a good selection of ales.
