It is good to know the Dawdles are still continuing even though Graham is unable to lead due to his sabbatical. Glenys and Philip France have been trialling a few more walks – all on Wednesdays in addition to those on the previous post.
Kathleen and Pauline will act as contact points and they ask that if you plan to join any of the walks to let them know (so that they know to wait if you are a little late). Contact numbers are Pauline (07879 359 783) and Kathleen (07876 366 575)
