ROMSEY TO MOTTISFONT: 7 MILES

FRESHFORD TO BRADFORD: 8 MILES
What a fantastic walk, led by Anna Biarda with help from Miriam Ricci. 29 people followed it, through some of the best countryside in Wiltshire.
I have recorded the gpx file and submitted it to:

Par to Looe - 19 miles. This is one stage on our coastal page for the Southwest. It can be done in a day, including a ferry crossing, but would be pretty challenging. Steve did it over 2 days, staying overnight in Polruan. He will upload the gpx file to www.railwalks.co.uk/how-to-help/...

Wetheral to Carlisle, a flat 8 mile walk along the River Eden, through parkland, and past the castle and cathedral. I will upload to the supporters walks on the website. Could you add one?

MAESTEG TO TREORCHY: 11 MILES

A wild, mountainous walk, with some real climbing, through forests and moorland, and a narrow path above a sheer drop. The escarpment below is Graig-Fawr, on the edge of Parc Cwm.
I will upload the gpx file to: www.railwalks.co.uk/how-to-help/...
