What looked like it could be a wet day turned out to be mild and dry as the group of sixteen headed south out of Terrington and towards Mowthorpe. As we reached the end of a long lane we were greeted by a wonderful view across the Mowthorpe Dale, before turing right and heading towards High Stittenham.
Navigation was a little tricky around this area due to the poor upkeep of path signs, meaning that the reccy the previous weekend often came to the rescue in ensuring a six mile walk didn't turn into twelve. Anyhow, despite the mud and lack of signposts, we found our way into the village.
High Stittenham has grown recently due to the conversion of a number of barns into accomodation, leading to the moving of the footpath thus adding more confusion.
Onto a brighter note, the group stopped as we headed north-east out of the village for some lunch whilst overlooking Mowthorpe Dale. After lunch we continued on our journey back towards Mowthrope and then on towards Ganthorpe. Just before Ganthorpe we turned left and headed back to Terrington.
The rain had held off and our dry but muddy group finished the walk with a rewarding drink at the Bay Horse Inn, which has its own brewery.
