Nov 2017-Jan 2018 Activities & Events

______

Dear Members It seems as we write that Autumn is coming in fast - and the question is whether this precedes a hard winter? Whatever the answer, there's plenty for us to do in this programme. Apart from the Saturday before Christmas, we have all the usual days covered. So plenty of opportunity to keep up our rural step counts.

With a central core of walks in the Brighton to Ditchling area and the Selhurst park to Arundel area, there are walks further west, north to Surrey and east to Kent. Our Remembrance Sunday walk on Ashdown Forest is led by Pete Rice before he leaves for Australia and Bill Saunders leads the Christmas walk from Newtimber.

Now a repeat of last quarter's advice about using postcodes with satnavs. Recently walkers were surprised to arrive in the grounds of a country Residential Home, but found walks weren't on the activity diary there! Many car parks don't have a unique post code and the one given on the programme will give you the general area. Using the grid ref as well should give you a much more exact location.

On the Strolls front, we welcome back leaders to full participation after injury, while others take a winter break. The programme is nonetheless still full and varied. Walks have a new leader and welcome back a familiar face. All leaders put a lot of thought into planning their walks and their willingness is much appreciated. So do make he most of the opportunities on offer. Whether you are bringing friends and family on a walk or getting out alone to work off any feasting excesses, we look forward to meeting up.
