Lophams’ Ramblers March 2012

On a misty March morning Lophams Ramblers set off for one of our regular walks around North and South Lopham.  Gradually the weather cleared, although it was chillier than the previous couple of days. This photograph was taken by one of our newer members on 2 March 2012.

We continue to meet on the first Friday of the month usually at 0930 for a walk of about 5 miles in the local area.  As we occasionally have to change the walk and therefore the meeting place, the programme for future walks will not be advertised in advance. Instead call Jackie Brown on 01379 687260 for details of the next walk. New walkers are always welcome.
