18th: Cuckoo walk
On a very warm and sunny day 13 members tackled the
cuckoo walk. Plenty of the walkers had already looked up the walk on the
net and knew more about the history then the leader. How it was named
the cuckoo walk. So we left the baking hot streets of Marsdon and soon
we were walking very steep hills. Layers soon came off. Soon we were on
open moorland, which was dry to the recent good weather. In the
distance we could see a small moor fire starting and as the day went on,
it soon turned in to a major moor fire.
The leader kept a good pace up with a couple of stops. One of these
stops was a ice cream stop which seem to go down well.But it soon was
worked off again. We soon back down to the town by 5.00pm. Walk was
about 16+miles. After the walk a few went to the local pub for a
swift drink and to use the loos.
