Sunday Walk

Dave J

A 9½ mile circular walk starting from near the visitor's car park at Hanningfield reservoir at 10:30am (Grid Ref TQ742978, see map). The walk promises fine views passing the delightful church at Downham, the Elizabethan Flemings Farm, the Queen's Silver jubilee gardens, and passing through Crowsheath Wood Nature Reserve. The route is described as challenging (by Essex standards) with a few taxing climbs. A good opportunity to regain some fitness after the Christmas excesses! There are pubs on the way where we can stop off for a pint or two but bring sandwiches as I do not plan to have a pub lunch.


Wednesday 16th February

Food Quiz

Marion

Tantalise your tastebuds with a tasty selection of food related questions. Brush up on your Jamie Oliver and Nigella Lawson, as CYHA two-vat cooking is unlikely to feature.


Wednesday 23rd February

Antarctic Slide Show

Ian

Some of you will have had a sneak preview of Ian's photos, taken on his and Helen's recent, once in a lifetime trip to Chile Argentina, the South Atlantic and Antarctica. Come and see more of his photos in their full glory. This show does not need any hype and be prepared to say 'ooh' and 'arrr' a lot!
