We had to dress warmly as snow was promised during the weekend along with cold winds. Two walking packs left the clubrooms at 2.05pm. The fast pack including me had 21 walkers and the slow pack had 10 participants. It was agreed we would stay together for 2/3 of the walk and then we could go for it on the last leg.
We walked down to Caversham, past Carisbrook to Gillions, Funeral Directors. Here a faster group (8) walked towards Cargills Corner, turned left and went up to Bayview Road. We headed towards Forbury Road and up Jacobs Ladder, turned left up Aberdeen Street, past St Clair golf course until we got back to the Ckubrooms. I estimate about 8-9 kms getting back at 3.25pm. I managed to climb Jacob's Ladder without stopping.
Stayed for two beers and left for home when a snow flurry came.
