Owen and Paula again organised the October long weekend and this year most folk based themselves near Fordingbridge. Saturday's walk was "on the way" at Tollard Royal. On Sunday we completed a classic New Forest circuit between Lyndhurst and Brockenhurst and on Monday two shorter walks started from Linford Bottom.

We had lunch here

Painful stile!

Exhausting business this walking lark

Last walk -- up Linford Bottom

Hiliary and her faithful poles

I deserve a beer -- again!!
