 Trip to Penryn, CornwallThis five-night trip is based in Penryn, a historic market town midway between Truro and Falmouth. Penryn is located at the head of the Penryn river, with multiple beaches within a few miles. It's a great base for walking, with good transport links by train, bus and ferry. The South West coastal path provides obvious walking options, eg from Helford Passage to Falmouth. The St Mawes ferry connects Falmouth to Roseland peninsula. Local walks are available from Penryn via Mylor. CLOG's Trips Team has booked flatlets on the Cornwall campus of Falmouth/Exeter University. Glasney student village, at the Penryn campus, is a 15-minute walk from Penryn train station. Each flatlet is ensuite, with five rooms with double beds, so you can have your own room. Two rooms in each flatlet are twin share. The flatlets have well equipped kitchens. This trip is fully booked, with a waiting list.
Thursday Jul 30   Somerset camping weekendA camping weekend, with two days of walking. Bring your own tent. The small farm of The Batch Campsite is between a National Trust woodland and a Bronze Age settlement. It's surrounded by woodland, so we may see deer, badgers and buzzards too. Almost wild camping, ie everything you want, but with toilets, showers and drinking water. The site is on the end of a bumpy unadopted private road at the top of the Mendips and has been deliberately set up in simple style. The site is on the Mendip Pub Trail and three miles from Cheddar, within easy walking distance of several Somerset pubs. We will do two day walks from the site and probably cook over a fire pit one night, and go to the pub another.

Friday Sep 11 Knepp Rewilding camping weekendPlease join me on a two-night camping trip to Knepp, a rewilding area in West Sussex. This is a special place with wild meadows and ancient woods with storks nesting, and was featured on the BBC's Springwatch this year. The plan is to travel on Friday afternoon/evening and pitch our tents at a campsite on the Knepp estate, where we can have a campfire. On Saturday we will do a local walk in the area. Checkout time is 10am on Sunday, so we may wander off home or potentially be able to leave packed-up tents on site in someone’s car. This trip has opened for booking. See email for further details.
