20 people set off on a very cold morning, as we approached Elsecar 3 herons were spotted, they took flight, which was a wonderful sight. coffee break was taken at The Needles eye, we carried on past Hoober Stand towards Greasbrough lake's where lunch was taken, we didn't linger there, it was so cold!! Walking towards the house we saw another heron, and a wonderful group of deer, as we neared the house we saw 2 stags on the lawn in front of the house, many of our group took 'photos of this, so picturesque worthy of 'Country Life'. We arrived back all intact. Many thanks to my backmarkers. It was lovely to meet Andrew, Shirley and her dog Bryn, who are our now our newest members.
