Todays walk in detail

We welcomed 3 new walkers to our club today. I hope they enjoyed the walk and the company. 30 of us set off from the car park off Churchfield Lane, we headed out of the village past the old church, onto Clayfield Lane then past the Round House. Turning left off Cortworth Lane we passed Cortworth House on our way to Hoober Stand. After a very brief history lesson from me we headed towards our coffee/tea break stop at the Needle's Eye (and another short history lesson). It was a calm day with blue sky to start with, turning misty later but no rain. We made our way along the ridge to Elsecar with views of the surrounding area. Dropping down the hill we then came through King's Wood making sure we took the right path up through the trees. Then back over the fields to the car park, safe and dry. Refreshments were taken at the Rockingham Arms. A big thanks to Dave for back marking.
