Coach Outings Programme

The coach outings available are first summarised below (in date order), followed by details for each when known and then any write-ups.

All coach outings have to be booked and this web site does not necessary keep up to date with when coaches are fully booked. Late bookings are usually available

Please do not change your pick-up point without telling the organiser. This will save the coach waiting for you, thinking you are late.

If you are not coming please let John Francis (020 8527 3938) know.

On occasions nobody chooses the Romford pick-up and consequently it is cancelled. Do not switch to Romford unless you let the organiser know, or else you might have a spoiled day.

GANTS HILL PICK-UP. The pick-up historically described as '66 Bus Stop opposite Odeon/Old Odeon site' is now to be described as '66 Bus Stop near the Corinthian Taverna'.

Date	Walk Title / Summary	Leader	Distance Etc	Price
Wednesday, 11th August, 2010	Wittersham to Beckley via Iden, Playden, Rye and Peasmarsh (Explorer 125)	Julie and Len	16 miles or 9, 5, 0 miles	£13.50

PickUp Points	07:10 ...... Loughton (bus stop opposite M&S) 07:20 ...... Hawkey Hall Note Well: early morning congestion can cause delays
Walk	Participants will have four options: A: Walk from Wittersham, descending to the River Rother which we follow to its junction with the Royal Military canal then climb to Iden village. After this easy walk (under 5 miles) you may wish to be picked up by coach and taken straight to Rye. B: Continue zigzagging to Rye via Iden. This is not a trail but made up of a network of footpaths; it will therefore involve several stiles and mixed surfaces. We will walk to the centre of the town and lunch there at the Ypres Castle Inn or in the Gun Gardens. The total walk will have been less than 9 miles and you can choose to spend the remainder of the day looking around Rye. C: After lunch we will climb out of Rye and walk to Beckley via Peasmarsh to meet the coach after a total walk of just over 16 miles. You may make your choice of the above options on the day but there is one more which you would need to choose when you book: D: You may stay on the coach and spend the whole day in Rye. If you choose this option you must make this clear on the booking form as your booking will only be accepted when places for walkers have been allocated. You may not choose this option on the day of the trip. We are likely to return by 8 pm

Walk	Savour the last coach ramble of the year with this Chilterns classic. Starting from West Wycombe, home to the (in)famous Hell Fire Club, founded by Sir Francis Dashwood, we follow a varied route to Fingest for lunch. This peaceful village has a most unusual church with a twin-gabled roof. It's a day to enjoy many fine views as well as roaming through tranquil woodlands. Pace: Medium with some hills, which will be taken at members' own pace.
Lunch	A pub should be available for lunchtime drinks, etc., but it's advisable to bring a packed lunch in order to prevent delays.
