Wednesday 11th September 2024.
Marriella’s Wood
This Walk was led by Wendy Bennett who would like to give some history about this group: “Firstly I’d like to tell a bit of history of this walks group because I started it around 2002 and called it ‘The walks group.’ Subsequently Keith Yelland started a walks group and called it the “Shorter Walks Group and so that’s how ours began to be called “Longer Walks” as we used to cover 7- 8 miles.”
The recent one was probably the last I shall lead myself ( and Vickie Howard was very helpful in helping with the recce and taking most of the party on an extension to take in The Dodman.
But all 12 of us (plus Vickie’s lovely dogs) started from my place in Gorran Haven to go up the new steep path through Marriella’s Wood. A beautiful summer day with lovely new views from the new path over fields of our village and harbour. The family at Lamledra came to an arrangement with the Nattional Trust to incorporate the wood and fields and all enjoyed the walk. Everyone returned for cream tea outside in the sun. A very happy occasion and a lovely memory for me!

We are happy for you to come to a Coffee Morning or one main Monthly Meeting and to attend one individual group (with the exception of groups that require pre-booking and ticket purchases) before deciding whether to join St Austell u3a.
Please always contact a group convenor to ensure the session is going ahead
