A group of about 35 set off on the annual Rural Women Walk the World event in high spirits on April 18.
They left Brenda and Andy Collins house in Warrengate Rd, near Fordell, intending to return there for afternoon tea after a 14km walk across farms on mainly flat ground.
Landowner permissions were obtained by Brenda Collins and the route would take in historic sites, Andy Collins said.
