| Comments: | A pleasant walk with more people than I had expected around. Lisa rang to wish me Happy Christmas while I was having a break at The Pike. A few muddy patches after I had headed down from Pike Cottage, emerging at the side of the High School. Parked in the bus lay-by, which was O.K. for Christmas Day but must make sure I don't park there again. | ||
