| Granny Trek for East Angia Children's Hospices | ||

| The Granny Trek at Carlton Marshes successfully took place and was thoroughly enjoyed. The Wildlife Centre had been opened especially to provide facilities and the walkers were lucky to have dry weather after the previous weeks of torrential rain. Though small, this event will have made more people aware of EACH - the children's hospices for East Anglia - which is of such value. So many people are still unaware of the existence of children's hospices. | ||

| Granny Trek for Ty Hafan Children's Hospice | ||
| 01-May-2010 | West Dale Bay | Pembrokeshire |
| Contact: | Sam Jones | |
| The Granny Trek at West Dale Bay was a great success, with good weather and superb views. The ten mile walk followed the coast, passed sweeps of golden sand and impressive cliffs, with Sam explaining the geology that is so dramaticly exposed. The walkers enjoyed the Granny Trek mood of friendship and camaraderie and money raised was estimated to be in the region of a magnificent £2000. The total has now risen beyond a staggering £4,000. Sam - you're a star! |

8 Carterton U3A members assembled by Carterton Town Hall for the start of the Sponsored Granny Trek in aid of Helen and Douglas House Hospice.We walked approximately 500 metres together and then split into two groups. 3 members continued over Willow Meadow to complete a 1½ mile Trek and 5 members walked 5 miles up over Ken’s Farm to Shilton, then past the football club, down Kilkenny Lane, across the top of the Country Park, down the hedge pathway on Shilton Park and on through the RAF quarters back to the Town Centre. The weather was dry but cool but we had plenty of laughs and banter to keep us warm. Together we raised a total £280, so thank you to “The Trekkers” and to those members who sponsored us. Also thank-you to Stephanie, Brian and Henry for their support on the day. Pam Howard |

| This was a very enjoyable walk, despite the baking hot weather. Fortunately there was some shade as we climbed up through the woods, to be rewarded by a magnificent view. It was good to meet up again with Granny Trekkers from 2005 and we look forward to a repeat next year. |

| An informal circuit of Colwall village, starting and ending at the Railway Station where there is parking and a bus stop. The walk is varied – meadow, woodland and some super views of the Malvern hills as well as points of local interest. There are a couple of points where folk could drop out and return by road to the start. It is roughly just under 6 miles and has only two stiles and no steep gradients. Meet at 10am for 10-30 start |
