New walk details

Dont be put of by the distance of this walk, yes its 10 miles but with it being flat all the way it doesn't feel that long at all.

This is also a walk where I can guarantee that we'll not get lost!

Just realised that the rest of the Shamblers organisers are on a course this weekend, and with the marathon being on in Sheffield as well, we're struggling to get the people we're expecting for this one to the starting point. I'm therefore going to change the walk to one that people can more easily get to, which is the old faithful, Wyming Brook.

Hippiechick3 will change the walk details later for me, hopefully.

Walk changed. I cant make it as Im on the course but I'm sure it will be a lovely walk and I for one will miss it.

[Mrs DJ 10]

Will be along for this but other half is away on a course

[anne d 10]

Bambigirl and myself will be on the walk. Mrs DJ txt me if you want a lift

Sorry to have to do this, but due to there only being me available to lead this walk, for insurance reasons, the numbers this week will be limited to 20. As there are already 15 names down, I would urge anybody who is thinking of coming to get their names down as asap cos once we get to that number, the walk will be closed off!

[Daremedo 10]

If there is still room me and mum would like to join you on this one please.

[scoobz 10]

2 have dropped out, 2 taken their place, so we're back at 15 if there's anybody wanting to join us at the last minute.

Hope everybody enjoyed this as much as I did - even the rain didn't matter today. Big welcome to the newbies today, no names cos they're not forumers, and cheers everybody for keeping the number down to 20, and thereby making my life a little easier

A fantastic walk in a lovely part of Sheffield. It was really nice to meet the two newbies and Im looking forward to seeing you again very soon.
