25th:Roaches walk
Last Sunday seventeen walkers met with high expectations of a
traditional walk along the Roaches. With good luck texts from Arlene,
apologies from Jackie and Mark ( we still had Mark but he denied all
knowledge of Jackie), the leader returned the group mobile to the
committee. Enthusiastically we yomped ( we did have an ex infantry man
with us ) across the fields in the direction of Hen Cloud. Suddenly Pam
noticed Brian and Ursula were missing... Surely they weren't fed up
of Howard's jokes already ?
Extremely worried about his reputation and the headlines in The Daily Mail, Usain Hudson - Bolt shot off down the field in pursuit, but to no avail. Suddenly a coup[le were spotted behind the hedge sneaking off in the direction of Roach Hall for aromatherapy . Desperately trying to ignore Sue's whistles, they were reunited with us. The group then ascended Hen Cloud and were afforded excellent views of Ramshaw Rocks and the Roaches.
From the summit we continued across access land towards the Roaches, Unfortunately there was no access!!! We went round the perimeter of a large field to exit at the same point. Jack (suffering from man flu) was totally perplexed not realising he had been there before. Back en route and fortified by ice creams we walked along the Roaches before descending back to Tittesworth reservoir by the wobbly stile.
Most people declined offer of Howard's stir fry for dinner concocted from mushrooms picked on route, but I believe others enjoyed a welcome drink in The Lazy Trout.
