Thirteen seems to be my lucky number as again today, I had thirteen walkers for the Sproxtons Circuit walk.  We welcomed one visitor and were happy to see some new members joining us again for their second or third walk.

After the rain last night, the air was fresh and water droplets glistened in the leaves of the trees lining the track.  The 5.2kms was a very pleasant ramble along 4wd tracks east of Nelligen with a few luminous ghost fungus spotted along the way.

We completed the circuit in just under two hours and some walkers were heading off to either treat themselves to a nice lunch in the Bay or a swim, as it was lovely and sunny but a tad humid.  Overall, a very pleasant morning walk.
