A morning walk in the sun

Cool forest on a hot day

Meetup.com has so vitally enriched my life.  One great local group is Walking, Cycling, Trips and More. Bob, who runs the show, has an incredible repertoire of walks to take people on, and I always love where he gets us to meetup.

Today he got 20 of us together in NAC, and I took the opportunity to practice my speech outside.  I wasn't on duty, but I got to lead everybody out of the Village Centre (yes, we left the building!), over to STEP, up to the Himalayan Cedars, and all the way down to the Cork Oak.

It was a grand day to be taking out so many people who were visiting NAC for the first time - after a week over 40C the morning didn't punish us too terribly, and we made it back for an ice-cream in the late morning with no stroke victims or anything.
