Club members please log in for more information.

17 August UPDATE.

A very good walking week, with calm, warm weather - if misty in parts - and we have now completed 168.75 footpath miles, and 456.1 total miles.

See the 17 August map here, and to see it in greater detail click this link.


We offer a particular welcome to our friends at the Redruth Club, joining Launceston from Week 2.


The Boscawen JustGiving total is now over £1500 and other clubs are setting up their own accounts. We are feeling excited that the total monies going to Cornwall Mind - and, of course, the 50% to be rebated to clubs - will be quite considerable.


                      A different layout to the page this week.

Walkers/contributors now have their own "Show Related Pages" tabs. Do go through them all, and click the photos to see them full size and their descriptions.
