CHANGES TO Camping, B&B weekend 22-24 June 2012

CHANGES TO Camping, B&B weekend 22-24 June

It seems that the clubs ‘weekend away’ in the lakes, at Lorton has a serious problem! It well nigh impossible to find accommodation in the area because it is fully booked, the reason being that there is a high profile wedding taking place that same weekend and another major event in the vicinity too.

Geoff Jackson has suggested a weekend at Robin Hoods Bay instead, which seems to be an admirable solution to the problem!

Those interested going to Robin Hoods Bay should make use of the website www.robin-hoods-bay.co.uk to find accommodation, the focus for the stay being Hooks House Farm camp site above the bay. Fylingthorpe is a short walk away too and the website covers B&B’s in the whole area. The date is exactly the same, i.e. Friday 22nd to Sunday 24th June.

Please let anyone interested but not on email know about the change. An announcement will be made at the next walk.

Best wishes & sorry about the change,

Barry

Record number of visitors for January 2012

Posted on | By Dave | No comments

The new website continues to attract new visitors and members, and in January 2012 the website received a new record number of visits. 208 people came to our site during the month, viewing 488 pages. Thanks for the support, especially those people who have supplied pictures, and I hope to add more articles in 2012.

Request – if anyone can write a ‘story of their walk’ when they go on Aycliffe Fell Walking Club trips, we’d like to hear from you. If you are signed up as a member of the Aycliffe Fell Walking Club website (and 18 of you have so far), you can contribute your posts to the site. Once they’ve been checked out, we’ll publish them. We’d really like this to become reality, as the site truly then becomes ‘yours’ as members.
