This month our walks are based around the picturesque Langdale valleys, in The Lakes District. The coach will leave school as usual at 8.00 am prompt and there will be a toilet stop at Burton-in-Kendal services on the M6 en-route. All walks finish at The New Dungeon Ghyll Hotel for toilets and refreshments. We plan to leave at 5.30 pm to be back in Formby about 7.45 pm. Boots are essential on all walks.
The cost of travel will be £10.00 for members, £13.00 for non-members and £5.00 for Leaders, children and students in full time education. Please make your cheque payable to Range Walking Club and ensure it is signed as it is inconvenient for the Treasurer to chase up such omissions.
Please send in your return to the Treasurer before 5th June. Places will be booked on the coach by the treasurer on a first come first served basis.
Cancellations: if you need to cancel or make a late booking, please contact the Treasurer on 01704 871308 who will endeavour to substitute your booking from the waiting list. If you cancel after 5th June and it is not possible to fill your place on the coach, regrettably, we will not be able to give you a refund as coaches will have been booked on initial returns.
