You had to be there but where were you?
This was a "Committee" walk and it was well short of a quorum.
However, it's a fact that if the Whitchurch Inn is the pub at least one Whitty boy will turn up. Even if, as on this occasion, he constitutes 50% of those attending. Bravo, David!
A lesson learnt - a route not well-used is a route to avoid - there are reasons for its unpopularity.
Another lesson learnt - it may be called "Summertime" but "It Ain't Necessarily So". (acknowledgements to Gershwin)
