Sunday November 3rd Calstock

A GREAT walk/s today, TY to all that came on our walk/adventure… Today was in 2 parts … but before we got started we were asked to move some branches at the church.. why not.. we then explored parts of Albaston/Gunnislake most had not walked before…. we picked up a couple walkers along the way, had lots of good conversations, and left them as we arrived back at Calstock church at 3pm… and started the 2nd walk….

6 dropped out and 5 joined us as we headed down to Okel Tor where we had a lovely surprise by John who provided us with ginger cake and warm apple juice… WOW… He’s been really busy.. and we all enjoyed the trail around the mine buildings, (one of our group had worked on restoration here 20 odd years ago)… then Jill gave us a tour of the boat house and eventually… we arrived back at the church and watched the Bell Ringers practising which was also totally amazing.. PHEW !

Total 8miles.

NOT SURE I SHOULD SHARE TOO MANY PHOTOS.. this is what one of our walkers said…

Excellent walk. Brilliant! It was a good outing. All the usual 45 degree ups and downs and a few little pleasant surprises, for me, that I had not explored before, like the garden … ‘Stoney’ Lane,, no longer Stony!! A bit of graveyard clearing thrown in for good measure! Bits I can’t reveal, because I would have to kill you. Weather pleasant, this is November?! AND A few new faces….
