28 April to 2 May, 2010 - the 2010 Laurel Hill 4 day event
Please see the Advance Notices at right ...
September / October 2010 - the South of France
Rodney Hills (Batemans Bay Bushwalkers) - rodneyhills2@bigpond.com or 4478-6104.
Two weeks walking and exploring in the Corbieres area in the south of France. Accommodation, most meals, walk leader and local transport are all included.
Rodney and his wife own a house in the tiny village of Padern (Aude Department) and can arrange exclusive use of the local Gite d'etape (used to be the Mayor's place) for a group of walkers. The program will probably be two one-day walks, then a day off to tour the area and so on. There is a Trip Report with photos here.
The likely cost for two weeks will only be about 650 Euros (around $1050 at the current exchange rate) - however, there will need to be about 12 people attending. This could easily form part of a longer European holiday. You won't find a better-value organised trip anywhere. If you are interested, please get in touch with Rodney soon.
Images are constantly being added to the club's Picasa Web Albums site, and to individual club members' sites as well. Click here to access the links to them all.
December 20 - added three articles by Lee Cordner about club walks late in the year - Kanangra Walls, Tongarra Falls and Trek for Timor.
August 7 - Added an article about our Life Membership recipients to the Reports page. Click here to view the report.
June 1 - added a page describing how to use Picasa to edit and upload your photographs to the web. Look under Images / Using Picasa.
