This morning turned out to be cold and grey under a leaden sky. All 13 of us, after another luxurious breakfast (we are 'stuffed' after last night's huge quantities of food), made our way to a car park at Friday Street.
From here, it's an easy walk to the summit of Leith Hill, first passing a pond (above) on which the only splash of colour was provided by a couple of Mandarin ducks.
The gentle ascent could be described as 'a leafy trudge'. Not unpleasant, and very chatty.
The rest of us continued along pleasant forest paths, before encountering a surprisingly steep hill.
Here's our 11km route. What a pleasant morning, and an excellent weekend. Thanks to Mike for organising it.

That brought back memories of a mammoth day of hill bagging and driving during my England Marilyns campaign - 23rd April 2013:

Unfortunately Blogger seems to delete historical photos on blog posts that were initiated when on the hoof, away from home, using iPhone or iPad. I know of no way of getting them back.
I've not come across that problem, Conrad, but I know the links to my Picasa slideshows don't work any more. The slideshows are still there, in Google Photos, and I have to go in and replace the link when I find this problem. Replacing your individual photos would be more time consuming but quite easy by way of editing your original posting, so long as you know where you've filed the original pictures.
