	Angela and Patrick write, "We had glorious sunshine, and were glad that the latter part of the walk was in the woods. Some of the party ended the walk with a drink in Rose's garden at Coopers Hill". (Thank you to John for the photos and captions)
	Our leaders, Angela and Patrick brief us on the forthcoming walk.

	On a very hot day the water looked quite inviting.
