Comments
Comments: Rocky Branch was as wet and muddy as I have seen it for a long time. Had go carefully looking for rocks to step on and to avoid sinking in deep mud. Davis Path could do with some work as the bog bridges are broken and many no longer effective. Wonderful 360 views on the top today. Made it all worth while. One newbie, one finishing 4th round so a good day had by all.
