N=15 on this enjoyable walk, very festive with snow lingering on the trees and a bit slippery underfoot. I had thought I'd done this walk before, but it turns out I hadn't. Five of us got to the pub a bit after 12 getting served quite quickly, but it was second drinks time before the food arrived. By then, 4 more had arrived and I guess the rest were having a picnic in the snow? A great little walk for a short winter's day.
