19 of us set off from Anston Council Car Park with prospects of high winds and rain. In view of this I decided to do the walk in the opposite direction leaving options open for later on in the walk. However, we were very lucky, after negotiating a few dustbins that were blowing about, we reached the bridle path behind the Butterfly House and continued down the Brands Farm track, having a short break before crossing the windiest field to reach Lindrick Common. After the noisy A57 short stretch, we walked along the lower path through Anston Stones back to the car park, where just as we arrived the rain started to fall. It was certainly an invigorating walk. Finished off with refreshment at Little Mester. Many thanks to Ian for doing an excellent job back marking.
