It is that time of year again! With the fading days of summer and a fine forecast — all looks in order for our annual sunset walk. This year, we will revert to the Box Hill circular route, enjoyed a few years back. We first head up Box Hill and enjoy the sunset, then have an evening meal in Mickleham before returning to Box Hill along a clear path in the dark. More information on the route can be found here.

Six assembled on the platform from the slightly delayed train for formalities on a w=warm-summer's-evening. We soon bumped into n=7 who had taken a bus...up we went, catching glimpses of the setting sun and enjoying the fab view from the escarpment. We arrived at Juniper Top just minutes after the sun set (had the train not been delayed -- would have been perfect) -- but were still rewarded with a nice afterglow. We arrived at the William IV about 8pm and enjoyed a nice meal on their patio - two then caught the bus, leaving the remaining 5 to complete the walk back in the dark...Along the way, w-2-glow-worms were spotted.
