It was a bit
of a grey morning, but the rain held off as we arrived in Carlton, to note that
nominative determinism evidently applied and a rambler with the right name had
got there first. ‘Quite right too. Being an official new members’ walk, we soon
had some new faces appearing, too – and one back for a second time, so it’s
good to know we’re not that scary.
Off we set on
Yvonne’s first outing as a walk leader (congratulations, by the way!), with the
initial mud soon giving way to a nice long canal tow-path. We shouldn’t have got too optimistic, though,
as lots of mud soon reappeared – but we’re used to that.

After lunch
in a hippo-free glade, a brief further wallow took us to the Squirrel and Nuts
for a spot of refreshment. Then it was
mud, glorious mud, all the way home. Still, it soon washes off.
