WALK IN LONDON MAY/JUNE

 

21 MILE CHALLENGE JUNE 2012

If anyone is interested in organising the 21 mile challenge in June 2012, please contact Tracey Davies (01525 374429). The past four challenges have been based at Berkhamstead, Woburn, Ashridge Estate and Wendover. This allows the walkers to use the facilities, and walkers to drop off and pick up on sections of the walk if they do not want to do the 21 miles. Ring Tracey if any more details are needed.

LONG WEEKEND TO NORTH DEVON OCTOBER 2012

It has been suggested that the LBR have a 3 night break in the Autumn in addition to the Spring Break. Lynton in North Devon has been selected and I have enquired about the 'Valley of Rocks' Hotel with Shearings.The cost of a 3 night break starting on Friday 5th Oct 2012 is £99 pp half board, with a

single supplement of £2.50 per night (There are 9 single rooms).

There is also a supplement of £5.50 pppn for a 'Sea View' room, and the

Hotel also has 4 Superior rooms at a supplement of £12.50 pppn (2 of these Superior rooms are 'Sea View' rooms so both supplements would apply). If you are interested please let me know, Derek Hitchcox on 01525 237209.

SPRING BREAK APRIL 2013

MOORSIDE GRANGE HOTEL AND SPA, DISLEY

The rather unique Best Western Moorside Grange Hotel and Spa is one of the Peak District's best kept secrets and indeed one of the most popular hotels in the Peak District. Visit their website at www.moorsidegrangehotel.com

Full details to follow in the summer programme.

CAR SHARING

Our group encourages car sharing, and walkers often meet at the Library Car Park or Tiddenfoot Leisure Centre. Drivers appreciate it when a voluntary contribution is made by passengers. At the AGM (2008) it was decided that a £2.00 per person, per Journey, is made to the driver. This is considered a reasonable amount to cover the costs incurred by the driver.
