Grassington Walking Weekend Sunday 15th April to Tuesday 17th April 2012

   
RTG will have our first walking trip away on the above dates in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales. Grassington is a very popular walking area and has a variety of accomodation to suit all tastes which you will need to book yourself as soon as possible. There are several websites to give you ideas about accomodation and a good one is www.grassington.uk.com

The Itinerary will be finalised and published on the website soon but we will be walking when we arrive on Sunday. Monday's walk will be led by Mike Pell and we will walk on Tuesday before returning home. There are various eating places and I will arrange for us to have our evening meals together on Sunday and Monday evenings nearer the time.

The main thing at this time is that you book your accomodation if you are coming.

All walks will start from the centre of Grassington. Any member who does not want to stay but wants to join the walks is welcome to do so. Full walk details will be on the website nearer the time. Any queries please contact me at lesley.beech@ferntree.me.uk
