We are sorry to report that we have had to cancel the Short Walk scheduled for Saturday 25th August, around Bowerman’s Nose and Jay’s Grave, as the walk leader will be unable to make it. He hopes to be back up and running, well walking really, for the September walk.

We are sorry to announce that the short walk scheduled for Wednesday 25th July, to Foggintor Quarry, has been cancelled, as the walk leader has recently had a cataract operation. He should be fully recovered for the next short walk scheduled for 25th August.
