The Previous Walk:
Penllyn Castle, 13th December
Eight of us met for Saturday’s walk and parked at the Forage carpark.
We set off down the track towards the recycling centre then across the fields up a fairly steep hill towards Penllyn Castle. At this point it was incumbent on us to test whether the rather fancy electric fence really was electrified or not.
Or was it just a ploy?
Anne tried it first and declared it wasn’t whereupon Vivian tried and very definitely announced that she had received a shock.
At this point Robbie had to have a go and reluctantly had to agree with Vivian!
We had our photograph here being careful not to lean against the fence and after this bit of excitement we proceeded to inspect the little Holm Oak plantation where truffle spore have been planted.
Perhaps one day in many years’ time we will spot some pigs rooting around.
Then, down the road from Penllyn and across a field and back to Forage, total distance 3 miles and just one and a half hours.
The weather was sunny throughout.
We all drove back to Wick and had a well-earned coffee and cakes in The Nook supplemented by Mags’s homemade mince pies.
