9 of us arrived to walk the walk starting from the carpark in Ashford in the Water. The weather started off fine until about 12 midday and then it poured down for about 1 hour. Then after the rain Mr. Sunshine came out. (Post nubila Phoebus) The countryside was looking its best, it was so green; glossy in the rain. Ashford had its annual flower festival and well dressing day, so the village was very busy, providing a lovely atmosphere. Refreshments (for some for a number of hours) were taken at the George and Dragon in Holmesfield.
