February Walk CANCELLED is now March's FRIDAY walk


Note This Friday 7th is the March walk

Hello All,
Please note it has been decided to CANCEL the February walk in view of the dreadful weather forecast for Monday and Wednesday, heavy rain but in particularly the possibility of 70mph winds. Trees are still falling in the forest due to the soaked ground conditions.
It is proposed to do the the walk that was planned for February to be done as the March walk (hopefully!). So the current information sheet applies for March.
