Stone

Sunday 18th November

Perhaps it was an overdue visit to Stone for today's stroll in some bright Autumn sun. Such a shame that it's only the two of us who got to enjoy this day. More coffee for us.

There was a pleasant surprise with red cabbage in the Star Inn. Then back in time for tea.


Start - Coffee 7½Km. Second coffee 13Km. Finish 18Km. Total ≈ 11Miles.  (352m assent)
