Twenty Ramblers joined nineteen others at Trentham Gardens for a varied walk along the Trent Valley Way, devised by the Trent Valley Rivers Trust. Due to the large combined total, we divided into speedy walkers and those wanting a more moderate pace.

Rain at the start suggested a washout, but it cleared up and stayed fine for the remainder of the morning. The route took us through Kings Wood, skirted the Monkey Forest where monkeys were spotted in the trees, and onwards to Barlaston where we joined the Trent and Mersey Canal towpath and than crossed Trentham golf course on our way back to Trentham Gardens. 

it proved to be a most enjoyable half day walk for all.
