We didn't see anyone else on this walk until we saw firstly 3 people in orange boiler suits & then 2 men in yellow boiler suits approaching in the distance, quite surreal. They had all been pot holing & were making their way back to the farm. We had lunch by the waterfall in the sun. [with] Stella, Ann, Sally Christine and Kath.
