Autumn 2021

September 

Diana and Colin have been replacing missing stickers on parts of the VGW and looking at the final southern part, Seaford to Newhaven, and how it coincides with the England Coastal Path

Congratulations to Brenda and Simon who completed the VGW, Saffron Valley. They reported ‘the colour of saffron was everywhere: Crocosmia, Rowan trees in bloom, jackets, dresses and bollards’.

Congratulations to Wendy and her friend on their completion of the VGW

Joel revealed his interesting way of managing his walk when water taps could be found on churches and made it to Newhaven Harbour Station just after sunset that evening - with my wife joining me at Berwick for the last leg. A perfect way to see out my 30's (it was my 40th Birthday the next day). Total time 13:53. A fair bit slower than I was hoping for, but my main aim was to just sit back and enjoy the day.

Congratulations to Graham and Andy on finally completing the Vanguard Way. It’s great to hear it was a Very Good Walk

A boundary review is taking place between now and 31st January 2022, by Surrey Hills AONB. Parts of the VGW pass through this area.

Thanks to Marc for his interest in the VGW and the complications around the collapsed bridge, footpath 24 and the diversion at Perryman’s Lane. At present the new route is remaining  the official route
