Each year, we are invited to join Pat and Mac and their friends (and family, if around), on their annual walk. They have been doing this now for over 30 years I believe!
We leave directly from their front door and very soon find ourselves in the middle of the countryside. Glorious! The route is varied each year. Half way, we are treated to warming mushroom soup and hotdogs. After this delicious nourishment, we fall into a pub a little further on for a drink, some banter and warmth. Then it's onwards and homewards, back to Ilkeston for some delicious Scandinavian grub, glög (Gluhwein to you and me) or whatever takes your fancy. There are quizzes to puzzle over, a code to unravel and pictures to identify. If all that is too much after a good long walk, we have a few laughs, chat or just curl up and catch a quick snooze.
Andrew and I (sometimes Claire) have been joining the Campbell's for 6 years now and hope to join them again, as often as we are able.
Many tkx to Pat and Mac for the invites, exercise, good company and delicious food!
Ps: Correction: I made a mistake earlier on, by saying that Cossall is in Derbyshire. It is fact in Nottinghamshire. (Oeps)
