We set off with a good sized group of walkers (well, seven to be precise) and followed one of our usual footpath routes.

Then four of us went ahead, deep in conversation and then we realized that the other 3 were nowhere to be seen.  We retraced our steps and saw our fellow walkers taking what they thought was a shorter way across a ploughed field.  We called to them and indicated that we would carry on and meet up at the Church.

After waiting for a few minutes at the Church the others were still walking in the distance so we pronounced our group  “the winners”!
