25 members enjoyed a wonderful weekend at the Bedford Hotel in Tavistock at the end of April; the Club's Spring weekend away. The Hotel provided traditional comfortable accommodation and friendly service in an historical setting. For the doughtier souls who enjoy a challenge there were two 12-mile walks, taking in various tors around Merrivale - Cox, Inga, Mis, Kings, to name a few. Weather was kind (though chilly) so there were superb views. For those who prefer a shorter walk there were bluebells around the reservoir and a few tors. Tiny lambs and fluffy foals everywhere, denoting Spring, despite the chilly breeze. Tavistock was a perfect base; close to the moor and with plenty to do within the town, exploring its history and canal and riverside walks. All thanks to the organisers and walk leaders of this most successful break and thanks to Cherry, Joy and Tony for the photos

7th April. While Storm Kathleen was raging ( albeit not raging quite as much as the Weathermen had predicted ) 10 intrepid and hardy members of the Club met on the Eastern flanks of the Southern Quantocks to walk from Hawkridge reservoir to Aisholt and back. On this lovely pastoral walk the ants' nests were of considerable interest ~ unforunately no reports of raiding Green Woodpeckers! Joy and Tony led this lovely 5.75 mile walk over mixed terrain; many thanks to them for devising such an attractive walk.
