Aynho Long Walk; 8th September 2016

Another perfect walking day with sunshine and a cooling breeze, strong enough to be called a wind perhaps. We welcomed Unni as a new member although an experienced walker. She is preparing for a climb in the foothills of Everest. We took the black path and skittle alley and then Station Road and Millers Lane. The ford is still dry which is not surprising. From the ford we climbed up to Souldern and then worked our way round the back of the village and took the track up to Nancy Bowles wood and Foxhill Farm. No Llamas on view today. The road back into Souldern was unusually busy but all the motorists were very considerate. We took Church Lane past the church and the sewage works into a field full of sheep. The all decided at once that the grass in the next field was much more tasty and hurried across to the gateway. We continued to the Portway path and back to the pavilion. No Anita today, but an assortment of refreshments brought by fellow walkers, and a great job with the washing up from Norman.
