Walks and Via Ferratas in the Dolomites - an Illustrated Talk on Wednesday 25 February 2009

Sue and I have prepared an hour long talk for Stockport Walking Group this coming Wednesday evening.  It's at 8 pm at

Hazel Grove Civic Centre in the Norbury Room
London Road
Hazel Grove

Admission is £1 (and includes tea), free on your first visit.

We hope to see some of you there.
