Twenty one Ramblers members joined Paul T at Dilhorne for our traditional Xmas Mince Pie Walk. Maggie and Howard supplied a cream sherry tipple before we started and Paul supplied home made mince pies and lemon curd tarts to enjoy at our coffee stop. Before we set off Paul announced 'There will be mud' and he was not wrong. While it was a little tacky on places along the route our footwear proved resilient and, despite the sherry and some fallen trees along the route, nobody fell over. Overhead the weather was warm and dry and, afterwards, we adjourned to the Auctioneers Arms PH at Caverswall for hot drinks or something stronger.

Great thanks are due to Rob, who provided the coffee break seating, and to Maggie, Howard, Pat and Paul. Stoke/Newcastle Ramblers relies on volunteers such as these who give their time willingly for the enjoyment of others.
