This walk has been cancelled

IMPORTANT UPDATE 27th JAN. Tomorrow’s forecast of heavy rain and strong winds has meant that the decision has been made by committee members and Gordon (walk leader) to cancel the walk. Apart from the weather Gordon has said it is likely to be very muddy. I hope you are relieved rather than disappointed with this decision. If you know anyone who won’t pick up this message please contact them.
