The
Walk:
Round
Arnside Knott shoreside, to the (in this
week's Westmorland Gazette) infamous caravan
park, noted for floor shot phone camera
pictures of women in cubicles.
Mike
almost gets stuck in quicksand; he was stuck
for a while but as he had the camera, no
pics, thankfully. James laughed.
It
rained. A lot.
|
|

|
|
The
Pub:
A
bargain lunch for just £8.95 each
with some fine beer.
|
|
6
|
|
Any
Other Business:
Come
back Don....
|
I
wasn't sure why Mike sent a photo of a NT poster with
illegible text about coppicing but then concluded that
"Continuing a tradition" was intended to be
the title of the report.
However,
I exercised editorial discretion!
Comitibus
: The
Committee
New
beach being constructed at Arnside?
Or
is it a car park?
Presumably
Mike's very wet feet

What
amazing responsibility you are placing on my slender
and weak shoulders!
I've

to BOOTboys
Friday
5th October:
James
is in charge
Anticipating
my absence next week, James has kindly volunteered to
take on the “amazing responsibility” that I am placing
on his “slender and weak shoulders”.
As
he says, he has finally made the big time.
Please
let him know if you are available on either Wednesday
or Thursday and, if so, any suggestions for destination.
He
will also need volunteers to act as scribe and photographer
so that I can publish the report before the following
week’s event.
Don’t
let James down- a massive turnout is required!!
Don
Andrew
to Don
5th October
Make
sure he has a compass.
Thank
goodness I am away!!

There seems to be a rebellion as it's going to be
nearly Johnny No-mates with only Mike joining me at ten thirty, Strickland pub
car park
Looks like you had better come home soon.
Buckling under strain
James
Aftermath
The
outing coincided with a hotelier's committee meeting
of which the minutes are shown.
Looks
as if there was something of a route readjustment as
the start point appears to be rather far away from the
Strickland Arms!
More
like the Ship Inn at Arnside.
