Ebbor Gorge and the Mendips - 12 miles

amazing view across the Somerset levels around Wells, and Glastonbury.
The might be an ice-cream stop in the early afternoon, but you will

Exmoor Hustle in your Hedgerow - 14 Miles (20Km)
Great introduction to the highs and lows of Exmoor walking. Features the moor's highest point at Dunkery Beacon, some tremendous ridge walking, plus varied wooded glens in the afternoon. Two challenging climbs, one strenuous and it will be muddy when wet. Waterproof jackets and sturdy walking boots are essential - and I recommend you bring gaiters too.
If anyone wishes to go straight to the walk start point, you can download the map & instructions here - but please let me know if you intend to do this before day of departure. Please bring packed lunch.

Cinema Night at the Watershed: "Lourdes"
"Christine is a young woman confined to a wheelchair as a result of MS. Lonely, she feigns piousness so she can go on church trips with much needed company. When her group make a pilgrimage to Lourdes, Christine wakes one morning seemingly cured by a miracle that provokes both envy and wonder: what is a miracle exactly? Why Christine? It is this curiosity about miracles, faith and the human spirit that makes Lourdes such a beguiling, delicately handled pleasure. Something between a religious satire and a redemption story, this is a respectful, gently humourous celebration of all forms of belief” (Cert: U; Austria/France/Germany; 96 mins; subtitled).
Host: Philip T 0117 969 1395
Meet: in the Watershed bar from 7.45pm for the film at 8.30 pm. Let Philip (0117 969 1395) know by the Monday if you’d like him to get you a ticket, or get your own and meet in the bar.
