The KAS 2004 Summer Excursion ~ 14-18 June

This year the Society will again follow the five-day pattern which has proved so successful for the last two Summer Excursions, leaving valuable summer weekends free. As usual, our coach will have four pick-up points throughout Kent and will provide our transport during the holiday.

Our excursion will explore the classic and historic landscape of Dorset; rolling chalk downland and hidden valleys, “of a shape approaching the indestructible as nearly as any to be found on earth” (Thomas Hardy). We will take in sights such as Maiden Castle, stronghold of the Iron Age Durotriges, and the Cerne Abbas Giant. Our base will be a hotel in Bournemouth. For further details and enquiries please contact: Joy Saynor, Hon. Excursions Secretary.
