<DIV>Hello again happy hikers!<BR></DIV>
<DIV>Or not so happy, after yesterdays antics. Many apologies for the coaches no-show, and having to cancel the Precelli Hills walk. The good news however, is that everyone can have a full refund on their MPF's, just come along to a sign up, and there are already plans to re-shedule the walk for later in the term, so look out for that one.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Anyway, on to this week. This <STRONG>Sunday October 17th</STRONG> sees our first visit to the wonderfull Brecon Beacons this year, and to the highest point in the park, <STRONG>Pen-y-Fan</STRONG>. This is a <STRONG>C walk</STRONG>, and there is some serious climbing involved (compared to the first walk of term!). Obviously many of you who wanted to do yesterdays B walk before this one haven't been able to, but if you think you might be able to manage it, have a chat to us at the sign up. If you're up for a challenge, this is the walk your boots have been waiting for! It costs a mere <STRONG>£3.50</STRONG>, and sign ups are as normal this week.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The following weekend we have no Sunday walk, but don't despair. That's only because its our <STRONG>first weekend away</STRONG>, to the <STRONG>Peak District National Park</STRONG> in the north of England! Leaving on <STRONG>Friday October 22nd</STRONG> and returning the evening of <STRONG>Sunday 24th</STRONG>, we manage to squeeze two walks into one weekend, including the unmissable <STRONG>Kinder Scout</STRONG>, site of the <STRONG>mass tresspass in 1932</STRONG> which helped establish our right to walk over open countryside! The weekend will <STRONG>cost £25</STRONG>, including transport and accommodation, but you will need to bring a sleeping bag and food for the weekend. More details to follow. The sign up for this weekend will be <STRONG>Tuesday October 19th</STRONG> <STRONG>at 6.00pm in JC's</STRONG>. Places are <STRONG>very limited</STRONG>, and are on a first come first served basis, so get there early! Places cannot be booked in
advance.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>After the Peak District sign up, we'll be heading down to Mumbles to do the mile, hiking club style! This is our unique version of the mumbles mile, the <STRONG>Round the World Pub Crawl!</STRONG> This may sound ambitious for a Tuesday evening, but never fear, you won't need a ticket, and we'll even provide the passports! For one night, <STRONG>each pub becomes a country</STRONG>, and at each we'll sample a drink from that country! So, Guinness for Ireland, Vodka for Russia, and, if your stomach can stand it, a Mexican Tequila to round off the evening! Up for the challenge? Then make your way down to the <STRONG>White Rose for 7.30pm on Tuesday October 19th</STRONG>. or meander down there with us after the sign up!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>OK folks, that's all from me for now. Have a good week.</DIV>
<DIV>Sarah :)</DIV></DIV><p>
