Some troublesome mud which was slippery rather than deep resulting in two falls and a submission. In a "Corrour" moment one walker (you know who he is) managed to emerge from the Forest at the wrong pub. To avoid a yellow card he swiftly corrected his mistake and a few minutes later all left the Forest in front of the Queen Elizabeth's Hunting Lodge (coming up for it's 500 year anniversary). This was open and the 5 took advantage of a visit and a presentation by the curator there. All visited the Premier Inn next door where on jumped ship and another joined. Much easier underfoot in the afternoon with mostly gravelled tracks. One walker continued on to Epping while the remainder set forth to Loughton.<br />All in all a nice day out with much better weather than expected despite the mud.Mike Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03516534159029263874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13665817.post-36346886438035605032017-03-05T21:11:14.575+00:002017-03-05T21:11:14.575+00:00N=5N=5Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13665817.post-21660294573887334882017-03-05T20:25:21.936+00:002017-03-05T20:25:21.936+00:005 walkers.
