A summer trip to Spain and back. 

Paul Bragg gave a talk on “Crossing the Biscay“a trip to Spain in July returning to France in August 2023. This was as usual a very interesting and enjoyable talk recalling Paul & Elaine’s trip to Northern Spain. The talk was given by Paul, (could not be in person at the RNA as he was recovering from a bout of Covid so presented via ZOOM. Some members watched at the RNA in Welwyn Garden City with lots more watching it at their home via ZOOM including members from our sister organisation BOSG

The Good, The Bad and the Lumpy.
