While, with another 2 weeks of lockdown we are all missing the club’s scheduled walks, at least we can be thankful that we live in a beautiful part of the world, not far from a beach, headland, or bush trail where we can go for a solitary walk as part of our ‘permitted’ exercise. But, yes, nothing does beat a good group walk- catching up with friends and likeminded souls, nattering along to each other as we stride through nature, and occasionally trip over it. So, for those suffering the ‘missing walks blues’, thanks to Karen trawling through some old classics, here are some memories from past walks showing the fun of walking in a group, and of course its unique advantages.  Hope to see you out there soon.
