There was a change to the walk because of the mud and I didn't fancy slip sliding all the way, so myself and 21 (usually) all weather walkers set off from the Elm Wood farm pub towards Rother Valley via the TPT. Although very cold the weather was ok, until we got river side! The wind picked up, the rain came down (and sideways) despite it being so damp, we didn't have much mud to contend with! Absolutely drenched we took shelter and elevenses next to the cafe! Shelter and toilets! We are getting spoilt! Onwards we went, to the smaller lake where we had a vote to take a short cut or carry on....3 musketeers took the longer route while the rest of us opted for the short cut, back in time for loose women! Surprisingly, with the short cut, we still banked up 4.8 miles! Welcoming 2 new walkers-Richard and Tracy who we know from the history tour of Rotherham we did! I wonder 'Whether' because of the weather they'll be back ready to go again! Thanks for coming'
