Summer 2011

We are always looking for new ideas so if you have somewhere in mind that you think would make an interesting visit please let the Secretary know (contact details at the foot of this page). As many of our visits incorporate a group meal we are also open to suggestions for lunch venues.
We do need participants to book for the walks and visits, especially if you would like to have lunch.
