This passage in Peter Fox's chronology intrigued me.
At the time there were some summer and spring field excursions, which were very popular as they predated (just) the main travel agents / package holiday business.
The excursion formed part of the 1964 Spring Conference in April, which took place in Cornwall.
You woll see reference to many former Presidents in the speakers list, including David Leslie Linton. who will be coming up next in 1964, talking about tors and granite, which must have been a great pleasure for those involved.
It seems that there was a voyage on a ship to the Scilly Isles which encountered particularly rough weather.
