16 November 2017 – The Green Horse

Thirteen of us today for another very special walk

There should have been fifteen, but David and Sabine missed it due to a mix up about where we planned to meet

This is one of the first walks we did back in 2006

We have walked it many times since then, but it never loses its magic for us

David has returned to the UK, so I led the walk today

It’s quite difficult to lead and take photographs

So more than usual are taken during stops

And the rest feature whoever happens to be walking directly behind me

We all started off wearing more than one layer

But the first part of the climb is quite steep and we soon warmed up

By the time we reached the top most had removed a layer

The ascent is in the shade, but at the top the sun was warm

So we could take our time walking along the ridge

And did not have to worry about finding shelter from the wind for lunch

It was very a very pleasant break and we were reluctant to get going again

We walked on to the rustic restaurant to extend the walk a little

It is open on a Thursday and looked very inviting

But we resisted the temptation and walked back to the village for a drink

Yet another very enjoyable walk in good company
