WI Walk - Preston Lake

Saturday, 1st April 2017

Nope, not an April Fool.  We enjoyed a lovely walk to Preston Lake.  The walk itself is about 3 miles but I walked up to the Hall to meet everyone, adding 1.5 miles.  We did the walk.  Then we walked to Sandhills Garden Centre for the mandatory cuppa and bun (about another mile). Then walked back again (yet another mile-ish).  Then I walked back home over the fields which is about 2 miles, maybe a bit more.

All in all, I think I walked about 9 miles.  It's easy when you break it down into little chunks with breaks in between.

Heading to "Des Res"
it's getting more and more dilapidated each time
