This walk has been cancelled

Walk leader Frances W. writes: I am really sorry but I am going to have to cancel the walk to Newlands Circuit. I have been watching the weather all week, it has gone from bad to worse, snow showers all day. So sorry for this cancellation, I will try to put the walk on again maybe 3rd time lucky.
