Strollers - Saturday
Our group of up to about fifteen ‘unhurried’ walkers has dutifully maintained what amounts to our regular Saturday morning explorations of the Hertfordshire countryside, usually following footpaths which are preferably ‘off the beaten track’. They are generally not too challenging in terms of distance, though in recent months the main hazard has been mud! But we remain undaunted, buoyed up by the knowledge that within an hour or so we’ll be arriving at a welcome pub, where we have normally pre-ordered lunch. Typical of those not-too-strenuous Saturday strolls was our recent two-and-a-half mile perambulation around Gustard Wood, after meeting up at 10.30 at our eventual lunch venue, the Cross Keys pub on the edge of the common. Through narrow paths, across open fields and through woodland thick with lovely bluebells in full bloom, and with ever-present mud under foot, we in due course crossed Lamer Lane and navigated our way, via Gustard Wood golf course, back to the Cross Keys, ready for pre-lunch thirst-quenchers.
Currently due to our numbers, we are not taking new members at the present time. Sylvia Cutler Group Leader.
