Shropshire – April 2023
Back in the saddle after recent illness, (and despite still not being permitted to drive by DLVA at the time) Gary organised a fantastic trip to the beautiful hills of Shropshire, with nine of us staying at Bridges YHA, just over the hills from Church Stretton.
Lake District - March 2023
William’s full report is to follow …
I was on the trip and I have to say it was fantastic with a great variety of walks on offer, both high level and/or shorter lower level walks along the Borrowdale valley. The main full day took in Grisedale Pike, Hopegill Head and Hobcarton Crag from Braithwaite, with a return descent visiting Outerside. Barrow was left for another time - we needed to get back for our Merry Meal! Several of us enjoyed 'bagging' a few tricky lower Wainwrights around Watendlath in surprisingly mild weather for the time of year.
Lyme Regis - February 2023
For the first weekend trip of 2023, 17 of us travelled in 4 group and 2 independent cars to Monkton Wyld Court, a Georgian manor house now run as an educational charity for sustainable living. Although a bit chilly and draughty downstairs, our rooms were spacious and bunk free - warm and comfy to retire to; very dark and quiet being up a single track lane.
