WALK THE PATH

They came, they walked and they walked ...

We attracted a total of 250 people and 16 dogs for Walk the Path this year, that’s 40% more than 2007! And the weather... well May 10th and 11th was the hottest weekend of the year with above average temperatures, so sun hats, suntan lotion and plenty of water was the order of the day, which makes a welcome change from waterproofs and soggy socks!
