Today we met at Stover Country Park, for the April level one ramble. It was a good turn out, with 9 mobility scooters and 8 walkers. I will be regular level one walks, normally on the third Friday of the month.
The Eastern side of the lake is a man made embankment, so the natural level of the woodland is a lot lower than the path. So they have put in a U shaped boardwalk, into the canopy with a bird feeder at the end.
During the First World War Canadian lumberjacks were drafted into the army, called the Sawdust Fusiliers. One group were stationed at Stover Woods, with a memorial located near the School.
The track around the lake is a level one, but a short section of track out to the memorial is level two / three. So was pleasantly surprised that the two powerchairs, were able to get to the memorial, although one of scooters could not make it.
As usual Gill and I finished our day off with a meal at the Twisted Oak, with another good meal.
