Plungar and Redmile, 7th July 2024

Brenda took 25 members on a 5-mile walk starting at St Helen's Church in Plungar down to the Grantham Canal which we followed all the way to Redmile.  The return was along field paths to Barkestone and then on the road back to Plungar.

The threatened rain came just before the end but was enough to drench us and the Lunch in the Garden at Brenda's in Barnstone became the Lunch in the Conservatory.  Eventually, the sun came out and members were given a guided tour of the colourful displays in the garden.  Thanks Brenda for hosting the lunch and for the cakes.   And others who provided cakes and the silver service.
