Future EventsMacmillan Way WestDescribed as a West Country Adventure exploring the best of the Somerset Levels, The Quantocks (these are hills, not a Rambling Sid Rumpole double entendre) and Exmoor. We begin this 102 mile walk, consisting of weekends away, in October and finish sometime next year. It starts in Castle Cary and finishes in Barnstaple. Every section of the Macmillan Way was excellent walking country and this will be even better. Contact Ian for further details.The Nelson WayThe Nelson Way is a 424 mile long distance walk starting from Burnham Thorpe in Norfolk. It finishes in the historic naval dockyard in Portsmouth. Horatio Nelson had connections with Norfolk having been born in 1758 in Burnham Thorpe and was educated at Paston Grammar School, North Walsham and Norwich School. He also served in the navy at Great Yarmouth. Last year was the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar, and Nelson died during the battle, which took place at Cape Trafalgar, off of the south-west coast of Spain. Contact Tony for further details.
