Flash WAlk 5th SEpt

05th: Flash walk

On a fine but windy day, 18 of us met up in Flash village to take part in two walks. I led a walk of about ten miles down into the Dane Valley then up to Panniers Bridge at Three Shires Head.  Here we crossed the bridge into Staffordshire, just so we could say we had a three counties walk. We then went up onto Axe Edge before dropping down to the infant river Dove. We traversed several very underused paths where the way was not very evident. My thanks to Paul and his GPS for helping to find the route, also for putting me right when I had a small senior moment and lost all sense of direction. Vince led another of his shorter ladies walks, also visiting Three Shires Head. Afterwards most of us met up in the pub for welcome refreshments.
