The Towpath Challenge
Follow the Walk in Pictures.

A four day (March 29th to April 1st) sponsored walk along the route of the Wilts & Berks Canal.  The walkers followed the the canal line using, where necessary, the proposed new diversions but also much of the original line, including some sections where landowners granted special permission.  The weather was dry but very cold, fortunately the support team were stationed at strategic points with tea and coffee.  The walkers where able to view historic sites, restored sections and the new Wichelstowe development.  Several thousand pounds was raised for the Trust.
(A full report will appear in Dragonfly)

John, Barbara and I covered as many locations as possible over the four days,
but there were some places we either couldn't reach or get to in time.
If you were on the walk or one of the support team and you
were taking photographs or video please could you send us copies
so that we can add them to this record.
