Galoppen this Sunday - Wythop Valley (nr Cockermouth) - thanks

May 27, 2018

Many thanks to the team for today's galoppen in the sunshine around the lovely Wythop Valley. In particular Ange for organising, Scott for planning and John for controlling. Results now posted.

Thanks also to everyone who supported the Juniors by buying refreshments - they will definitely be repeating the "bring-your-own-mug" experiment to cut down on plastic waste.
