The Club has booked three self-catering properties in Bude, on the north Cornish coast, for a week in June 2019. The intention is to walk between Westward Ho! and Tintagel along the South West coast path, However, to make this manageable, we have hired a private coach for the week[ the charge per person is £35 which is payable by 1st May. The accommodation is in Foreshore, with 9 bedrooms, Salty’s, with 4, (see Elite West website for details of both) as well as Upper Deck, also 4 bedrooms (see Syke’s Cottages). The cost for the week’s stay is £150. All places in the Club’s properties have now been booked, but you are welcome to be placed on a reserve list. For those who have paid a deposit of £30, please note that the balance of £120 is due by 1st April 2019. All accommodation is within walking distance of shops etc in Bude. It is possible to travel to Bude by public transport – train to Exeter and then a bus. Payments are to Jill – either cheque or bank transfer (details available from Jill). Please let Jill know if you book independent accommodation and want to use our private coach for walks.
