Catching the 685 bus we had a short journey to Hayton junction and then the overcast sky turned to light rain. Fortunately it didn't turn heavy as we headed into Townhead Wood allowing us make good time. In no time we were over the railway and down towards Greenwell picking brambles on the way. Taking the riverside path we headed towards then into Gelt Woods stopping only for our lunch break. Not hanging around as the rain was still persistent we walked through Unity and on towards Brampton Station. We're now on the old Dandy railway trail which takes us under the A69 and our way into Brampton. It's downhill all the way to first Steven Wilson's the butchers, and then Cranston's where we eventually caught our bus home. Once in the city we made for Tullie Cafe, our watering hole. A big thanks again to Ken and everyone else. Until the next time. Dave
