The mulled wine walk was again a successful and enjoyable occasion. 15 of us
turned out, several sporting festive hats etc. as you'll see amongst the
accompanying photos.
We took a direct route to South Head which meant that most of the climbing
was accomplished within the first hour. After coffee we decided to take
advantage of the weather and continue via Brown Knoll to the top of Jacob's
ladder.
The wind had freshened, but in the shelter of a wall we had lunch
and the very welcome mulled wine and mince pies.
It was then all downhill with good views into the Sett Valley and a return
to Hayfield by 2:30. The George Hotel provided the customary warm
hospitality for a festive drink.
A good end to our autumn programme and a healthy preparation for the
inevitable over-indulgencies of Christmas.
