On Sunday 24 August 2014 Roger and Virginia led one of their ever popular walk in the Epping area. The following photographic memories of the day, together with captions have been kindly made available to us by Sheila Bravin.
The programme extract gives helpful details of the plan for the day.

Lawrence of Arabia owned this land

Autumn sunshine as the ramblers cross a field

Meandering along a well trodden path

The photographer will now have to run to catch up!!

A glance to the side reveals nature's abundant beauty

The leader ensures all ramblers are assembled for forest walk

Pause for conte,plation

Ground dry and smooth underfoot

Looking back


An extremely pleasant spot for the peace prayer of St Francis

The prayer helpfully printed on the club membership card

A closer view of the prayer

A falen tree requires rambler to throw leg over

Different styles for the same obstacle

The leader carefully ensiures no injuries

Alfie makes sure his foster mum keeps up too

Alfie bounds to the front of the line

Tranquil scenes to calm the inner mind

Across roads and time to snack on natures bounty

Tasty autumn berries

Only the soft juicy ones will do!!

A little cluster to please the palate

Another path with an arch of foliage

On the lookout for more berries

Alfie kept from the roadway



Nine hole golf course with amazing views

Not sure of this holding technique


Meandering paths intersect with helpful signposts

Relaxing small talk ensues along the way

Alfie never far from the front

Yet another path to show the way

A welcome stop at the pub designated for lunch

A rickety bridge over a dry stream

A moment for all to catch up, sit down and absorb nature's serenity

Gradually setting off again

No rush!!

Forest trees infused with autumn sunlight

The leader allows time to enjoy the views and chats with walkers new to the group

Perfect display of water lillies

The leader has great knowledge of so many forest paths

Some roads have to be crossed along the way
