Dear Brian,

I am writing to you on behalf of Penrith Mountain Rescue Team to thank for your recent donation of £132.59. As you know we receive no government funding and it is donations such as yours that enable us to keep people safe on the fells and the wider area 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We are currently raising money for a new Base and have recently identified the need to replace much of our waterproof clothing. Your donation will help us in achieving both of these goals.

A circular walk round Renwick (6.5 miles) on quiet lanes and tracks. There are three or four styles at the start of the walk with gradual inclines and descents (rarely flat).
I have arranged for us to visit the village hall at the start of the walk for tea, coffee and maybe cake? So please make a donation in appreciation.
Melmerby is the nearest cafe for after the walk.
Location: Explorer OL5 5970 4350 what 3 words deploying.golf.preoccupied  - postcode CA10 1JT
Directions: From Penrith on A686 turn left in Melmerby just before exiting the village, go through Gamblesby then turn left through Unthank and straight on to Renwick.

 Parking: it is only a small village but there should be enough parking along the road. Careful not to obstruct any gateways.

I am sure some of you will meet at the Cross Keys for a car share at 9: 30,  the whatsapp group is a good place to look for this.

Remember to contact Steve  to let him know you are coming -  satkinson7@me.com
