Hello, New month, new email! It’s great now that the days are getting longer and we’ve had enough sunshine to start tempting us outdoors again – of course, many of you haven’t stopped going out through the winter anyway!

If you haven’t noted the date for the Trivets – Wednesday 2 July, based at Dalston Village Hall, near Carlisle – please put it on your calendar now. The details are on the blog and places are limited so if you want to join in this challenge please register as soon as possible which you can do via the blog link.

We're doubtful that Acorn Bank can provide a reliable stop for us on Sunday 30th March. Shap cafe not open Sunday. So we are suggesting the newly refurbished Muddy Duck at Caldbeck? We'll see how it goes and please pass any comments (after Sunday!) to the committee.

Come & join me for a ride crossing bridges over the River Eden from Carlisle's Western Bypass all the way upstream to Langwathby. Total of 8 bridges over the Eden + crossings on the rivers Irthing, Petteril & Caldew. The ride starts from Dalston at 09:30.  Coffee is at Sally's in Warwick Bridge after 19 miles.
