Angles Way 25th Anniversary Celebration Saturday 6th September 2014

On 6th September 1989 the Angles Way was officially opened by John MacGregor, then the MP for . He was invited as Minister for Agriculture, but actually came as Minister for Education. The tape was cut on the footbridge on the county boundary between Harleston and Weybread.

Since then it has been possible to improve parts of the route of Angles Way – we didn’t wait until it was perfect before the launch, we might have had rather a long wait! Very significant improvements were between Redgrave Fen and the western edge of Diss so this seemed an appropriate section to highlight for our 25th birthday, celebrating both what we started with and what has been achieved since. The event is being organised by Norfolk Ramblers with support from NCC (Norfolk Trails) and SCC (Countryside Access)

Meet for 11 am on Saturday 6th September at Redgrave Fen (field adjacent to centre TM 052802 – collection of £1 per car for donation to the Wildlife Trust). Short introduction and light refreshments before a leisurely six mile walk to Fair Green, Diss with a lunch stop at Wortham Ling. Minibus transport will be provided to return to cars.

Everyone is welcome, but we would especially like some of our older members who have previously been involved with the Angles Way to join us. Anyone who can now only manage a short walk may join for part of the distance – the minibus will pick up at any point where the route meets a road.

The minibus will also provide limited return transport from the Norwich area (not centre of the city – it is a Saturday!) for those without their own transport, please phone 01953 861094 at least two weeks beforehand so convenient pickups may be organised. If you use this facility a donation towards costs would be welcome please.

Other enquiries also 01953 861094, or [email protected] In case of difficulty please contact the Area Secretary on 07505 426750.
