The second SWAG walk was in snowy weather so we decided to walk from the village to Kirk Smeaton and back. It was a circular walk although we retraced our steps along Westfield Lane – it was extremely icy going from the village, but it had thawed by the time we returned in the afternoon. Unfortunately we had our first casualty of SWAG as Anne badly twisted her ankle soon after we left Wentbridge crossing the field and woods to Smeaton. Fortunately as, whilst most of us were oblivious to Anne’s predicament, Peter and Mick supported Anne back to the road in Wentbridge and Cath came to the rescue in her car.

Mick managed to join us in The Shoulder of Mutton for refreshments proving that he walked quicker than anyone else!!! On returning from the walk, which was enjoyable and invigorating, Billy and Cath greeted us and there was stew, shepherd’s pie and two puddings, along with alcoholic beverages, to sustain us for the rest of the day. Many thanks to Cath for providing this.
