We managed to get the best weather of the week, dull but dry, and 15 of us enjoyed a linear walk from the Fox House down to Beauchief Abbey via Blacka Moor or the second anniversary of the Thursday walking group. The trees and bracken still showed beautiful colours but there was no sun to lighten them, while the volume of water in the streams made us feel fortunate that it was not raining again. Dick Murton and Lin joined us for the first time, having been Castle members 20 years ago and having recently returned back to the area. Dick used to be Treasurer years ago…
We stopped at the Castle Inn on the way for a pint. This is where the club was formed 47 years ago. Only Andy could ever remember meeting there, thankfully the rest of us are younger!! ( Sorry Andy). A few more joined us for the party at our house at the end, so it was rather cosy in our little terrace. Rosy had made a lovely cake for our anniversary, Steve brought sparkling wine and glasses for a toast, and everyone brought some grub along, so we all had a very nice time.
Thanks to all for a great day. Linda
