Paths - on map and ground
Sat, 17 Oct 2009 13:08:19 +0100

Stort Navigation - Bishops Stortford - pub?
Wed, 14 Oct 2009 13:01:16 +0100

pubs further into B. Stortford? (its a lovely c ...

Hadrian's wall
Sun, 11 Oct 2009 10:55:41 +0200
Hi all,
next week I'll be doing some walking in Scotland with my 9 year old son. We
will be visiting Glen Nevis and Glencoe, wellknown areas for me. On our way
back to Newcastle on thursday we would like to visit Hadrian's wall. Is

TIA
