Hi Everyone
Well Autumn is truly with us and thoughts turn to our December meeting and plans for Christmas and the New Year.
We met last in October when we walked with the North Devon and Exmoor Walking Festival. We had two very good walks one of which included a cream tea that was very enthusiastically received. The weather was so good that we were even able to eat out in the garden in T shirts and some people even wore shorts!!!!!.
Saturday, 1 October we met at Brendon and walked up to County Gate and then back along the coast path towards Countisbury. We dropped down through the woods and then back along the river to our Cream Tea at Brendon House. This was a very varied walk and was especially good in the woods.

The dogs enjoyed cooling off in the river and the humans enjoyed their cream
tea……………
Note the shorts!!!
On Sunday, 2 October we walked on the Quantocks from the Lydiard Hill Car Park. The walk was very good with lots of dogs – all well behaved. The day was misty so we didn’t get all the best views but everyone enjoyed themselves. We visited the Blue Ball at Triscombe for lunch and made sure that we finished our weekend with another cream tea at The Chantry at Kilve after the walk had ended.
Gathering everyone together Lunch in the garden at the Blue Ball
Walking Group Meeting - Friday, 9th to Sunday, 11 December
A Murder Mystery Evening is planned at the Yarn Market Hotel on Friday, 9 December and we have decided to hold the Walking Group Meeting during the same weekend so that we can participate. To those of you who have not attended one of these events I can assure you they are very entertaining and the group of actors involved are very realistic.
There will be other groups at the hotel over the weekend and so it should be a good party
If you have not already done so please can I remind you to book your accommodation at the Yarn Market Hotel as soon as possible 01643 821425 as space is limited
