This walk has been cancelled

Field paths water-logged, muddy and treacherous after recent heavy rain, with more forecast in preceding days. The walk leader has decided, with regret, that to proceed with the walk would be risky for walkers on potentially very slippery slopes. This walk is therefore CANCELLED and will probably be rescheduled for later in the current programme.
