It was fantastic that the walk yesterday was supported by 39 members on a December day when for the duration of the walk dry conditions were enjoyed. We were lucky because later in the day the heavens opened. Setting off from the "Woodman" our journey took us alongside the Woodlaithes estate with the remains of Silverwood colliery beneath our feet. We then walked through Ravenfield wood and down to Old Ravenfield where we took a coffee break next to St. James church. Having crossed the field we took the narrow road and then the footpath up to Braithwell road. Mercifully we were only passed by one vehicle, a delivery van, clearly not intent on slowing down. It was then back to the "Woodman" for drinks, celebrations, a meal, a raffle and enjoyment was had by all. Thanks to Phil and Dave for marshalling duties. It was a very enjoyable day.
