events featured a family short walk at 5.30 pm, followed by a twilight
yomp starting between 7.30 – 8.00 pm, finishing in the dark at close to

Approximately 50 people joined in the walks which were marshalled at
various points by Alton Rotary club members with support from Four

water for all walkers.
 
Everyone completed the 5.1/2 mile course in good time and returned to
the British Legion club house and enjoyed a well earned drink.
