Walk Report
12 members plus one dog started the walk from Bedrock house near Rafford. The first part of the walk to Rafford Village Hall Cafe was via the Knock Hill wood, Rafford Parish Church and Woodside. After tea, cakes and bacon rolls we split up into 2 groups of Striders and WASPs for the second part of the walk to the Burgie Arboretum via Sourbank, Burgie Hill and Burgie Castle. After lunch, the striders took the shortest route through the Arboretum to gain the quiet public road back to Bedrock, whilst the WASP group had a bit of an adventure through the Arboretum before heading for Bedrock.Other Files
