Chenies Spring Walk 2008

Summer came early to the Chess Valley in Buckinghamshire where the sun shone on the 5th Annual Chenies Walk. A total of 360 walkers passed through woodland and across fields, experiencing the quintessentially English countryside at its best. Many walkers stopped at the Cock Inn, Sarratt and Red Lion at Chenies both of which support the event.

Participants were treated to a ‘Nature Valley’ health bar donated by General Mills Uxbridge, a bottle of water donated by Waitrose Northwood and apples kindly donated by supporters Mr and Mrs Marsh. We are grateful as always to Mrs Macleod Matthews who gives the walkers free entry to her glorious tulip gardens and provides the venue each year, without which the event could not take place. The walk raised £4392 towards the appeal.
