Thanks for the comments Bea, it's always a pleasure leading a walk, and bringing like minded people together, for fun and laughter. This has been a challenging year for invites, and meeting up with friends, and i would like to thank all who have joined me this year on the various walks i'v put on, and look forward to more invites next year.

Well done Bea, I would also like to thank all the leaders of walks that I have been on over the years as I can honestly say that I have never been disappointed. Merry Christmas everyone. 🕊

Well said. Without you all I wouldn't have got back into walking, met the friends I have made or had all the fun and support that OD offers. Thank you to all of you. 😊

Many thanks from me, too, to the leaders of the walks that I've been on since I joined OD in 2015. 🙂

Well I organised one once and several of the participants aren't home yet. I've got the sense of direction of a blind clothes peg so am massively grateful to the wonderful people on this site that lead walks with such charming ease and success. I am in awe, and over the years the Stars that have done this have enhanced my otherwise directionless stumblings. You know who you are x J ps... has anyone seen my headtorch?

Carpe Diem!: I nearly lost a few on the Ullswater Way!!!!!!!!! 😩😩

Lovely thoughts and words Bea, how about the coconut and blackberry traybake at Low Newton ?? 😀😀

Dale They were divine . I am still hoping for the list of ingredients..😊 😋....
I ones left my backpack at home without realising it...until I arrived to the walking venue...
I survived the ordeal because of the generosity of our lovely lot...Even sharing the water....which was so vital...and welcoming .... 🍺😊😉

Dale: bet they laughed it off though. All of my unfortunate crew have avoided me ever since.😢
