Shap Weekend

The Lake District is a new area for the Society to explore but we followed in the tracks of the Jillies after their unscheduled stop in this area in Strangers at Snowfell when their train was stuck in a snowdrift.

No such climatic hazards affected our walkers as they marched over the rolling hills in sunshine. There was slight confusion when some 'enemy' modified the footpath diversion signs around some pipe laying. However, this did not fool our intrepid explorers for long and they managed to find where Dr Thornton had hidden his blue papers in the story.
