A week’s walking in North Yorkshire – Friday 9th to Friday 16th August, 2019

Posted on July 6, 2019 by Jill

The Club has booked two properties in central Whitby, on the north Yorkshire coast, for the week Friday 9th to Friday 16th August 2019 at a cost of £195 per person for the week. The accommodation is of very high quality and close to the coast. The local walking is great and very varied; the coast path (part of the Cleveland Way), provides at least three days walking and the north York moors are on our doorstep. Whitby can be accessed by public transport from Cambridge. Please let Jill know if you have booked independent accommodation.

Posted on July 2, 2019 by Jill

Former CRC member Joan Chapman is being remembered in a sponsored 10 mile walk on Sunday 15th September 2019, visiting the Grantchester and Barton countryside. The walk , which will take place between 10.00 and 14.30, takes a picturesque route where the rivers Cam and Granta merge, meandering through lush meadows and woodland, away from the busy City centre. The entry fee is £10 and each participant must return a completed registration form. The charity being supported is the Alzheimer’s Research UK, supporting research into dementia. For more information please contact Lesley Gordon at lesley.gordon@live.co.uk . See https://justgiving.com/teams/JoansMemoryWalk2019

Britain’s Best Walking Neighbourhood – Cambridge City in contention!

Posted on July 2, 2019 by Jill

The Ramblers’ Association has recently run a competition to identify Britain’s Best Walking Neighbourhood – and Cambridge City was successful in making it to the last 10 out of 80 contenders! The winner, Falkirk,  was decided by popular vote on the Ramblers’ website and was announced on Wednesday 10th July at the House of Commons. The Ramblers’ website shows the 10 urban neighbourhoods which made it through tough competition to the short list. A video film was made to showcase just why each neighbourhood has been proposed and CRC (and Ramblers) members Jill and Jane appear in the Cambridge film. Many of us take Cambridge for granted – but what other cities or towns offer such wonderful green commons and open spaces so close to the centre? On a Spring day, what urban views are better than the scene when walking along the Backs? And the city centre does a good job on keeping traffic at bay.
