Ten of us set off in two separate groups for a most enjoyable five mile walk on Tuesday 3rd November from the Top Locks car park at Foxton. We walked over the fields and climbed up the hill to Gumley. Then made our way over the fields to Debdale Whalf where after a short break […]
Sadly November’s walk was called off because of Lockdown 2. All being well the walk planned from Wistow will now take place in January 2021. Bruce
Lockdown 2 put paid to our November outing so I booked a session on the SLU3A’s Zoom account for our usual meeting morning. Nine of us successfully logged into our first (and last?) Zoom meeting.
