  • May 2023 - TWO MOORS WAY WALK UPDATE - Tarr Steps Repaired

    Big thank you to Somerset County Council who have made the most of the recent good weather and repaired the 150m long Tarr Steps in Exmoor National Park.

  • South West Coast Path Association, 50th Anniversary.

    Last Friday 6 of us attended the South West Coast Path Association 50th anniversary forum in The Royal William Yard in Plymouth. The speakers covered a range of key issues affecting the coast path, including equity of access, climate change, nature recovery, regenerative tourism, community engagement and the coastal wildbelt. All subjects close to our hearts. They also looked forward to the next 50 years, and how the coast path and those of us that operate on and support it, will have to change. Gave us a chance to check out one or two of the local cafe bars and restaurants too...which is never a bad thing!
