Intend going
After platform alterations at Kings Cross and Finsbury Park n=10 managed to get to WGC and start the walk. The weather was w=Sunny_with_some_light_cloud_in_the_afternoon.
Four ate lunch at the Brocket Arms and the six with sandwiches went off to George Bernard Shaw's House.
Foragers found walnuts, apples, plums and some remaining blackberries.
The group split in the afternoon with five heading off to take tea in Welwyn with the remainder following on after visiting GBS's house
