Hey Steve! Thanks for leading the trip. Can you send me your contact number as we may be running a bit late and may need to let you know where we are. Also are we planning on stopping at a pub for dinner or do we need to sort out dinner for Friday night?

Hi All,

I'm sure by now most of you will have heard that Vic will be going into a 5 day lockdown beginning tonight.

As such we will need to cancel this weekend's trip. Will look to reschedule to next weekend, pending the outcome of the lockdown.

Thanks everyone for your understanding
