Trip Details

A leafy trip near the source of the Thames. Should be really pretty.

Usual stuff applies. Meet 7:30am at the club, car sharing and petrol/ parking costs (£12pp), bring a picnic, warm clothes and suncream.

Saturday Night Camping Option

As this is a longer drive (1hr 40mins), some of you might fancy camping on the Saturday night near Lechlade. Please let me know asap whether you’re keen to have a relaxed night under canvas and an evening in a Lechlade pub. It will depend on our transport options whether we can do this or not.

Despite the immense popularity of generic viagra, there are still various hesitations in men’s minds regarding the drug’s action and availability.
