Steve D led 13 ramblers (and Carrie the dog) on an 8-mile walk starting in Goadby Marwood across flat fields to Eaton for coffee next to St Denys Church. The day was cooler than recent days and less humid. The walk progressed across more fields to Eastwell where lunch was taken in the seating area at the Village Hall. The final section was along more field paths back to Goadby.
