We leave the Village Hall car park on foot or by car at 10am sharp to do a circuit of approximately one hour. You are advised, therefore, to get to the village hall by 9.55 am latest. Walk routes will not be announced beforehand but will be chosen according to the mud factor.
Dogs are welcome provided that they are put on a lead when requested. Walking boots (or wellies in wet weather) are recommended but not compulsory. Walking poles may also be beneficial. Some routes include stiles.
If you are leaving your car at the village hall to complete the walk, please park it on the road outside rather than in the car park.

New arrivals
Those readers who take an interest in the fortunes of the Gower pond will be delighted to see that there are now two ducklings. They are not the offspring of the two remaining adults, but were hatched by Fred Inns (Jnr) in his incubator. Like all infants, they are reluctant to be taken home to bed at night, so will, no doubt, soon become a permanent part of the scene.

Went to Mr Hole’s at North Cheam. Rosa in charge of house.
Called on Mr W Longman about the proposed magazine “The Librarian”. Mr Longman gave me a note to Mr Sampson Low on the matter. He publishes the “Publishers’ Circular”. Both seemed to have an idea that my scheme was a plagiarism of that work, but is not by any means.
Called on Mountain.
