It was a fine sunny day, blue skies and great visibility and we all made the top without too much difficulty where we were able to enjoy magnificent panoramas for many miles around while devouring the contents of our lunch boxes - Liz Fulton's Empire Biscuits made the effort really worthwhile!
On our descent we completed our walk around the country roads , with the added excitement of a shower of hailstones, the size of golfballs - honest! - before driving back home.
