April Walk - Saturday 26th April

We're thinking of changing the venue due to reduced availability of walk leaders and timing restrictions for lunch at the pub in Hailey.

Update February Walk - Compton

The route for the walk from Compton on Saturday 22nd February was rechecked on Wednesday and will be OK to walk although of course very muddy.

The road from the A34 into Compton via East Ilsley is passable.  There has been flooding in East Ilsley itself and still has lots of water on or very near the road but cars can get through.

In Compton the road that goes passed the school, church and under the old railway bridge has also been quite badly flooded but 4x4 cars have been getting through.

Hope to see you there!
