The sun had a lot of bite to it, but the seabreeze kept trooping conditions to bearable.
The route took around up and around the historic wading pools, and much to the delight of passing traffic.

Was a lovely day for a stroll in the park to support a great cause.
'Twas a shame that trooper numbers were down on last year.
