You can see the January walk route!

We had a great walk and a  very good turnout for the January walk despite the grey morning. 

Thanks to one of our regular walkers, who likes to walk with an ipod under his arm, you can relive the route we followed.  Or if you weren’t able to come you can take a look anyway.  Follow this link http://gps.motionx.com/maps/2ab8bc3fbacc96a7483d517e1f77a64c
