Cambridge Rambling Club

The coach and hotel trip to Brecon in South Wales, originally planned for March 2020, has been moved to the weekend Friday 26th to Sunday 28th March 2021. The Club has booked the Castle Hotel and there are plenty of places available in single, double and twin en-suite rooms. Brecon is a lovely town in the middle of the National Park, with its own cathedral, museum, river and canal.

We plan to arrive in time for a walk on the Friday afternoon or an exploration of the town. As usual we will offer 3 different walks on Saturday and Sunday – so please let Barry know if you are willing to lead a walk. The total cost per person for 2 nights dinner, B&B, packed lunches, coach travel and all gratuities is £265 for a single room and £220 for a double/shared twin room. To reserve a place, please either send a deposit of £75 per person to Barry (see the Programme for address), with cheques payable to Cambridge Rambling Club, or arrange a bank transfer, referenced ‘Brecon’. Details of the Club’s bank account are available from our Treasurer Jim. Please let Barry have your details for further communications, including address, email and telephone – and let him know of any dietary requirements. Car parking arrangements will be given later.

Due to the ongoing uncertainty regarding any movement out of the Coronavirus lockdown, the decision has been taken to cancel this September’s planned Club trip to the Lake District. This has been a difficult decision to take, but it is clear that there will be no quick relaxation to social distancing rules. We hope that people who have booked accommodation will be able to defer their booking to next year; we plan to arrange a week’s trip to Keswick over the week Saturday 11th to Saturday 18th September 2021. Of course, if Government advice allows holiday travel to go ahead this summer/autumn there is nothing to stop people arranging their own walks. However, there won’t be an organised CRC trip this year.
