Walk Report
Yesterday myself and 2 other members joined the Northumbria group for the Spring Gentian walk. We were made very welcome by all the members on the walk. The walk itself was a tough 21 miler in an area I had never ventured in before. It was an excellent walk and well led by Liyang who had to look after 23 members. Not an easy task but was more than capable of handling any situation that arose. Numerous fast river crossings tested the group but with a bit of assistance and encouragement from other members everyone successfully crossed over with nothing more than wet feet. Our thanks also go to Paul ( Walks Secretary ) for his information on points of interest throughout the walk, unfortunately no rare plants were seen but I do hope to attend next year if this walk is again put on the programme.
