Walking Group Update for 18th May

Walk 18th May

 Please note that we have changed the published walk on the 18th May.  It will now start from the lay by at Black Rock (Grid Reference ST482546) at the top of Cheddar Gorge instead of the YMCA carpark at Street.  We will also be meeting up an hour earlier than usual (9.00am) at Bank Street Car Park and hope to start the walk around 9.30am.

Shepton Mallet Prison Visit

There will be a coach trip on 22nd February 2018 to tour Shepton Mallet Prison.
 
The tour takes 2hrs and the guides are prison officers who have worked at the prison.
 
There is a very dark side to the building and its history. The Kray twins were there at one time apart from other well known criminals. The prison closes its doors in April of next year when it will be turned into shops and flats so this may be our only chance to see what it is like.
 
After the tour I am looking for somewhere to have some lunch, I will notify you all when I have done so.  
 
I am taking names now if you are interested.
 
Vour and Carole
