About ten years ago, Michael Weale introduced a Probus Club Remembrance Walk in November. It has happened every year since; in most years it has been to the WW2 plane crash site near Stourhead where there is a memorial. So, on Tuesday 4th November Michael Weale will again lead this walk of about 4 miles that will include the placing of a poppy-cross on behalf of Probus at this site. Depart as usual at 10.30 am. from the main car park at Stourhead (free for NT members). Returning to The Spread Eagle for lunch at about 1.00 pm. Mel Noller has kindly agreed to deal with the lunch arrangements. A couple of hills (undulations) but mostly level and no stiles. Michael looks forward to your company on this walk.
Lunch is booked for 1.00 pm. There will also be a short walk of about an hour’s duration on footpaths around Stourhead led by John Hedges.
