Barnstone and Langar, 1st November 2020

Brenda led this 4-mile walk around Barnstone and Langar, avoiding the mud on the route Jan planned at short notice to supplement the AGM walk from Waltham.  The route explored both the industrial and bucolic parts of the village before an excursion beside the old filled in limestone quarries to Langar for coffee.  Then back in time for the AGM by video conference.
