Competition

Question: In which year was the Pennine Way National Trail officially opened?

The prize for the first correct entry out of the hat this time around is a Pennine Way DVD and a National Trail goodie bag - good luck!

The answer to the last competition was: The South West Coast Path National Trail is 630 miles (1014km) in length.  The lucky winner of a National Trail goodie bag was Patricia Edwards - well done Patricia!

Congratulations to Steve Blake who was the winner of a "Show of Hands" CD which was a recent prize on the South West Coast Path National Trail web page linked to the previous newsletter.
