Easter Trip to the Lake District

Dave P

We have booked Rydal Hall Youth Centre for 5 nights, near Ambleside in the Lake District. Sheltered by the high fells of Fairfield and its neighbours, Rydal enjoys outstanding views toward Windermere, and provides an excellent base for walking.

The building has undergone a major refurbishment and is much improved since our last visit. Facilities include fully equipped kitchen, Bathroom/shower facilities, large common room with wood burning stove. Pillows are provided, but you'll need to bring a sleeping bag.

To find it, follow A591 for two miles north from Ambleside. In Rydal, turn right into the lane towards Rydal Mount, pass the church and take the second entrance on the right (just beyond the main gate of the hall). Pass behind the hall and over a small bridge. The youth centre is the large white building on the left (postcode LA22 9LX).

£30 deposit to book a bed please. Total cost will be about £20 per night including meals, plus £45 towards petrol for those sharing lifts from Essex.

Wednesday 3^rd April

No Meeting

Wednesday 10^th April

Committee Meeting

We’ll be planning Wednesdays for July and trips away for early winter.

Sunday 14^th April

St Peter’s Way part 3

Jim

Meet at Esplanade East by the Marina, Maylandsea (see map) at 10am for a car shuffle to Bicknacre for a linear 12 mile walk back to Maylandsea.

Stage 3 of the St Peters Way takes us from rolling countryside and woods, via fens, to the sea at Maylandsea, from Bicknacre via Purleigh and Mundon. Things of interest to look out for include the vineyard at Purleigh, the old Maldon to Woodham Ferrers railway, St Marys Church at Mundon Hall, and Mundon creek towards the end of the walk.

Please bring sandwiches, but at least one pub stop is planned.

Wednesday 17^th April

Shakespeare Abridged

Ali

Chelmsford Theatre Workshop present the complete works of Shakespeare in a single evening, and probably more laughs than you usually get from King Lear. The play starts at 7:45pm at the Old Court Theatre in Springfield Road, just opposite Chelmsford prison. Tickets are £9 (£8 for the over 60s) and are available from the Civic Theatre box office or on the door.

Wednesday 24^th April

Nepal slide show

Andrew & Carol

Stunning crystal peaks, temples and elephants – come and see a taste of the mountain kingdom of Nepal.

Andrew and Carol's trip last year included a trek in the foothills of the Himalaya with spectacular views of the Annapurna range, and an elephant safari through Chitwan National Park.

Friday 26^th to Sunday 28^th April

Glossop Celebration

John & Judi

We’re booking the bunkhouse at the Old House at Torside in the Longdendale Valley, three miles from Glossop in Derbyshire, just above the Trans Pennine Trail with glorious views of the Pennines.

We'll do a walk from the bunkhouse on the Saturday.

John & Judi would like to invite as many of the CYHA as possible to our Ruby Wedding celebrations in Glossop on Sunday 28^th April - there will be a lunch and some kind of high jinks.

We do, however, need numbers as soon as possible please.

Deposit £40 to Dave P will book your bed for the weekend.

Note: Unless otherwise stated, Wednesday events start at 8.30pm at the YMCA in Victoria Road, Chelmsford
