Tawe Trekkers Newsletter - 27th July 2009

_______________________________

Hi all,

Not much of a newsletter this week, as we have the weekend trip to Shropshire on 31st August with the Black Country Group, pre-arranged.
For those that are coming along to Shropshire and aren't sure of details please give me, Doug, a ring on the usual number.
For those that aren't booked on to the trip but would like to come, then please call me or Chris Price (contact details on the webpage) to discuss the possibility of tagging along.
I'm afraid the rest of you will have to amuse yourselves, which (if recent weather's anything to go by) will probably involve doing something indoors!!

Cheers,

Doug

From there we walk to Dunraven where there is a possibility of a swim if people want, and certainly an ice cream. Meet at County Hall at 9.30 as usual.


Distance: 10 Miles


Difficulty: Moderate


Meeting Points: County Hall at 0930, or Ewenny Priory at 1015.

Travel Arrangements for Shropshire Weekend


If you're coming to Shropshire and are looking for a lift, please call me, Doug on 07766652837 so that we can arrange getting up there on the Friday (31st). So far I believe that Tom and Montse are going up in the morning sometime, and I'll be going up at about 3-4pm.

For this or any other questions about Shropshire (this trip, not the County in general), please drop me a line.
