Samedi le 21 Juin 2008 - En Plein Air

Our thanks to M. Gerry Alger for arranging the walk and to M. Tony and Mme. Edna for leading the intrepid band of explorers into the darker areas of Newton Solney. Although slightly damp (!) we all enjoyed ourselves; followed by an excellent meal at The Unicorn Inn, Newton Solney.
