Report
A good turnout despite the poor weather. Rachel (Interica) was delayed but called Nick as we were walking away from Fairwarp. By a piece of poor navigation we came out to the road just as she was passing. This resulted a split of the group with Nick, Jim & Bev waiting while RAchel found some offroad parking. The main group by this time headed back towards the correct route via a number of valleys and a meandering route! By the time we got to Airman’s grave it was wet and getting dark.

We all met up at the pub afterwards. The longer route was logged at 8.8Km and the shorter estimated at 4.6km
