Longside Wood, Ramsgill - Wednesday 17 September 2014

Today we welcomed back Mick Roberts from Australia who was last with us in May 2012 at Sparrowhawk Farm. Mick has just completed the Coast to Coast walk and will be heading south shortly to tackle the Cotswold Way, before he returns to Melbourne in two weeks time.

The team was Barry, Catriona, Chris, Graham, Paul, Richard H, Roderick, Roger, Tony (and of course Mick)  and the task was to finish gaps 7 and 8 and make a start on gaps 9 to 11.
