I've just added nine photos of our recent trip to Selworthy, North Somerset.

Owing to Mick T's indisposition, and logistical problems about access to the field, I'm sorry to say that the BBQ planned for 6 July has been POSTPONED.  We will try and rearrange for a date later in the summer.  Watch this space.  I plan to put on an alternative walk on 6 July.  Please check the programme nearer the time for details.  Mike
