Walk Report

The walk was day 1 of a 3 day bank holiday weekend. The route was initially over the moor, visibility was poor and there was heavy rain and wind. By the afternoon it was clear and sunny. One walker "Daisy" did not have the most appropriate clothing but despite attempts to give her spares she was adamant that she was warm enough and turned it down. Dani got stung on the hand by a wasp/hornet took an antihistamine.
