Walk Report
This walk was the third in a series which had been put on over 2 weekends. It was specifically put on for those members that were unable to do one of the first two walks. The 3 walks differed in length and routes taken. This route of 16 miles was the only one to the east of the Doone Valley. Only one other member turned up for the walk. However we did complete it as planned and enjoyed it. Although there was a cold wind from the north, it stayed dry and mostly sunny all day.Other Files
