Sunday 9th Aug 2009

There is some great countryside to explore on this sunny day.

I knew we should ban Matt from wearing shorts!. The sun reflects off Matts pale legs and nearly burns out the camera!

The countryside around Hagworthingham is very beautiful.

We could just walk and walk and walk.

The great views continue.

Some paths are just calling to be walked.

Walk leader Chris leads the way.

Some more views.

Snipe Dales Nature Reserve.

We enjoy the view from the top.

The group disappear into the distance.
Thanks to Chris for leading this walk.

Locals watch as we walk the medieval turf maze.

The maze is thought to be carved by a small cell of monks that lived here in the 13th century. They would have done it on their knees as penitence.
