PeteWalk Report
27 of us set off on Andy’s 80th birthday walk
from Hope Primary School. Due to pressures of
organising the evening event Andy & Rosy just joined us for the first 30minutes. Great to have had them along for part of the walk.
Coffee break was taken just above Upper Fulwood Farm
before the steep ascent to the Roman Road which runs
just below the long ridge up to Win Hill. Lunch consumed by the “kissing gate” where the track levels out not far from the summit. Easy ground the followed to Win Hill where a group pic managed to tweeze all 25 of us in. We also waved to Andy & Rosy at home in Bradwell who managed to spy us on binoculars!
Everyone then took the steep descent to Twitchill Farm
in their stride and then on to our starting point at the school. Great to see so many Castle members plus members of Andy’s family. A very pleasant walk on a lovely summer’s day.
