Last week's walks

1. Tuesday 30th April: The 100 alleys. Ron led 21 walkers down a record-breaking 130 alleyways in central London between 11:00 and 19:00 covering 15 miles from Bond Street to the Crossekeys pub in Gresham Street via a most interesting twisting route.

2. Saturday 4th May 2024: Shipwright's Way Day 1. Kate led more than 20 walkers 18.3 miles from Bentley to Petersfield in fine walking weather following a long-distance path created in recent years to imagine the journey a tree might once have taken from Alice Holt forest down to the shipyards of Portsmouth.
