We had 15 walkers in June on a walk that was just over 3 miles. My aim this year for the monthly walks is to walk all the 49 PRoWs in the parish of Nonington. We are now up to 35. On one of the Footpaths that we walked which goes from Holt Street into Fredville Park, we passed 3 huge badger excavations.

March Walk
We had 26 walkers and one dog this month on our nearly 5 mile walk from Nonington to Frogham and Barfrestone. Then across the fields to the edge of Shepherdswell. On the return journey, walkers were shedding jackets as the sun came out and we were feeling the spring get warmth.

We had a beautiful evening walk this month. The sun shone , the wind died down and the countryside in Nonington looked at it’s summer best.
