Summer Coach Outing to Aldeburgh, Suffolk, Sunday 23rd June 2024

The Club’s popular Summer coach outing will be on Sunday 23rd June 2024 and this year’s destination is Aldeburgh in Suffolk. With A, B and C walks on offer, this is a wonderful day out. You are very welcome to come along and organise your own activities in this delightful seaside town. The trip provides a good opportunity to meet up with friends who walk with other Club groups.

The cost is just £16 per person and anyone wanting to book should initially contact Caroline, our organiser, at caroline.diston@gmail.com. Travel details are to be confirmed, but we will leave from Milton P&R site. Offers of leaders to Caroline, please.

Please do come along for a great day out; it would be a great shame if we have to cancel the trip due to lack of support.

Skipton – a walking week in Yorkshire, Friday 12th to Friday 19th July 2024

The Club has booked self-catering accommodation in Skipton for a week in mid July 2024 and, due to cancellations, there are still rooms available for single or double occupancy! Skipton provides an excellent base for a wide range of walking in the Yorkshire Dales. With a station in the town there are opportunities to travel on the Settle Carlisle Railway, opening up linear as well as circular walks. Skipton is a market town and has good shopping facilities.

Sole occupancy of a room with a shared bathroom costs £275 for the accommodation; anyone sharing a room pays £250 per head.  The deposit to secure a place is £75 per head. The balance is due on 1st May. All bookings are with Jill, not the Club. Please contact her at secretary@cambridgeramblingclub.com for her address or bank account details.

Please let Jill know if you are happy to lead an A or B walk during the week and if you have a preference for where to walk.
