The Five mile walk from Wentworth village eventually had 19 people and 4 dogs. We went past Wentworth Garden Centre and took the path downhill from the lodge. The herd of young cows ( seen on the prewalk) had completely vanished. The uphill path led us up through Scholes Village, where we stopped for coffee at the Scholes cricket club ground. The groundsman had very kindly given us permission for us to use all the benches and tables for our break. We then crossed a huge field which was being ploughed up just in front of us ! The farmer then stopped his ploughing to smooth a path for us, by going back and forth with his tractor wheels. We arrived at the bridge across the ponds to admire the view in the sunshine. Then on to past the big house . We all arrived safely back to Wentworth Village. As it was so warm , we decided to have a drink outside the Rockingham Arms Pub. Thankyou to Donna, who offered to backmark and to all the people and dogs who turned up for the walk, making it a very enjoyable morning for everyone.
