Club Holiday Weekend: Wednesday 23rd – Sunday 27th April 2025

After the very enjoyable holiday to Harrogate this year, we are now taking bookings 
for the 2025 club holiday, which will be to Criccieth, North Wales, staying at the 
George IV Hotel. There are plenty of opportunities for interesting walks and visits in 
the area. Criccieth is on the coast with its own castle, and both Snowdonia and the 
Llyn peninsula are nearby, as are Portmeirion and the Ffestiniog Railway.

Further details in the full programme.

River Coln Trail
 

Liz and I intend to complete the newly devised River Coln Trail over the next three
programmes. The trail takes us from the source of the Coln, south of Winchcombe, to its
confluence with the Thames at Lechlade. The trail can be done as a linear walk or as a 
series of circular ones. We will be using the circular option so the return sections of our 
walks will not be along the Coln. In fact, due to access and ground conditions, some of the 
trail itself parallels the river rather than being alongside it. Being within our local Cotswold 
area, many of the stretches may well be familiar but it is an attractive river to enjoy and have 
the satisfaction of having experienced its full length. If you want to do some homework in
advance, then you need to purchase the booklet we will follow: River Coln Trail (£5.00 from
Winchcombe Museum and other local outlets).

High Visibility Waistcoats

Section 13 of the “Guidance for Walks Leaders” on the Club’s website suggests that “in bad 
weather or darkness the leader and backmarker should consider wearing hi-visibility clothing 
or a reflective arm band”. The committee has agreed to purchase two high visibility 
waistcoats for each walk leader who wants them. One for the leader and one to lend to a 
backmarker.

Details for ordering waistcoats are in the full programme.
