Next Walk:-

Hi All

Thursday, 8th October.

Crow Park to Derwentwater 

We are meeting at 10.40 at Penrith Bus Station to catch the 10.45 bus to Keswick. The 3.7km (2.3ml) route will take us by Crow Park to Derwentwater and then through the woods, returning to Keswick beside the lake. Lunch will be in the Booths Café.

Return buses to Penrith leave at 20 and 50 minutes past the hour.

The Met Office forecast at the moment is for fog, temperatures in the low teens, very light winds and no rain.  If you wish to come on this outing, please let me know by replying to this email by Wednesday lunchtime.

David

Extract from the Convenor’s Handbook 

Members of U3A participate at their own risk.

• Walkers/members should be confident that the proposed route is well within their physical capabilities — even if the weather deteriorates.

• Walkers/members should be properly equipped, with suitable footwear, waterproofs and a picnic. A hot drink is a good idea in winter.

• The route will have been researched by the leader, but changes may need to be made on the day if weather conditions change.

 No one in the group has been trained as a leader or in first aid. In an emergency, help will be given to the best abilities of fellow members. Members should consider carrying a first aid kit for their own use.
