Cakes, candles and champers on Black Mountain

Part-day walk

Eleven walkers turned out on the first night of winter, so let’s do it again! A more central location, Black Mountain this time. Around 5km and 260vm in 1.5-2 hours. I shall bring champers (and soda water). Consumption will be limited by plastic shot glasses! You bring cakes and candles. Meet 6.30pm near the electricity sub station at the end of Frith Rd. Bring a torch. We’ll do the Black Mountain Summit Walk and Forest Track (aka ‘Hat Band’). If weather looks dodgy, text “Walk on?” to 0417436877 from 5.30pm on and I will answer Y or N. No need to book.
