Saturday 14 January 5.5 Miles +
Hilary, Carol, Tracey, Jane, Donna
We parked at Dunham Massey, good job Jane had a NT card so we didn't have to pay for the car park.
How lucky are we with the weather? Cold and frosty, but the sun was shining.
The hedges along Brick Kiln Lane were white as we started the walk.
As we came across the white gate back into Dunham Massey the walk suggested that rather than walking down the Main Drive that we went off to the left and through the trees. We found a big log to sit on to have lunch, except Hilary she sat on the grassy knowl!
We walked long and into the fenced off deer park area. Then we turned down an avenue back towards the House, there were lots of deer under the trees with a couple of males crossing the path in front of us!
As the sun was shining so there were plenty of people around. The car park was full and people were queuing to get in!
At the end of the walk we went to a cafe that we had passed near the beginning of the walk but it was only a small place and quite busy, and as we wanted to do a planning meeting we thought we should find somewhere else.
Fortunately Hilary knew of Red House Farm so she rang ahead to book a table, we had tea and cake. The table wasn't quite ready so we had a look in the shop, where they had painted furniture.
