The destination for our annual ‘Weekend Away’ in May next year is Hereford which is close to many & varied walks in and around the beautiful Wye Valley. All Members, family & friends, are welcome to come along Family & friends can join our walks if they wish; otherwise they would be free to sightsee in & around the city.
We all make our own way, in our own transport (sometimes car sharing) to Hereford. We also book our own accommodation.in advance! A list of accommodation is attached or you may wish to find alternatives via the web.
The proposed programme for the weekend is as follows:
Fri 9pm Meet at the Green Dragon Hotel Hereford for briefing on walks etc.
If you can’t make it before 10pm, we can arrange to let you know arrangements by mobile up to 11pm
Sat / Sun 10am-4pm Whole day walks on 2 levels as appropriate
Mon 9.30am half day walks arranged as required before heading for home.
It may seem unreasonably early to be thinking about the Spring Bank Holiday next year!! However, the Hay Festival nearby is at the same time so accommodation will be at a premium! Advice therefore is to give this some thought very soon and BOOK YOUR ACCOMMODATION ASAP!!!
We would be particularly pleased to see new members & families joining us What better way to spend the Spring Bank Holiday?
