Even seemingly uninteresting walks organized by our walking society can be a huge source of inspiration. After a deep discussion with the committee members for planning future walks and budget, our attention was then drawn to the fact that we did not have a T Shirt of our own. And that, we needed a good T Shirt to show Cranfield, who we are. 2 members, Lucienne and Neel volunteered to drive this venture. Hence this competition announcement.

On Saturday 17 Novemner we are going to do a walk led by Paul from Cranfield village. We met Paul during the last guided walk Exploring Cranfield Village Part 1. We did a 16 km walk last time where we had an amazing walk in and around Cranfield. Now, to continue on this wonderful exploration, we are having a follow up walk.
Paul is an experienced rambler from Cranfield Village. And he has kindly agreed to lead the follow up walk as well, to explore a few more areas near by. So here it is; we are going to do a walk with Paul this coming Saturday. But first, Kirstina Sodomkova (the pillar of our walking group) asked Paul couple of questions:
Paul, could you tell us more about the planned walk on 17 November? We will be leaving Cranfield a south westerly direction going across fields to a little used church that can only be reached on foot paths, taking in the splendid views and the Autumn colours, then having a short break. Returning through the woods partly on the John Bunyan Trail. And back to Cranfield Tell us something about yourself. I was brought up in London and started rambling in my early teens, with school friends, catching the train on Friday evening out into the countryside, then walk to a youth hostel. Next day, after we done the chores, on to another for the night, then back home on Sunday in time for tea (or so we promised). I have lived in Cranfield for some 22 years now. What is your favourite walk? In England there’s many pleasant walks taking the views, going somewhere of particular interest or just want to get out. But my favourites are the expeditions with my son and grandson. What advice would you give to our walkers or what useful information could you share with us? Get an ordnance survey map of the area you’re in or going to, 1:25000 scale Explorer map – the one with orange on its cover ( there is a problem for Cranfield as it’s on the corner of four maps) This link gives some independent help in choosing walking boots: http://www.which.co.uk/news/2010/04/which-reveals-the-best-walking-boots-207719/ Sometimes TK Max, a shop In the Centre Milton Keynes, has reasonable quality walking boots at discounted prices. Thank you, Paul. We look forward to our walk on Saturday. Kristina SodomkovaSaturday 27th October walk & shop: Great Barford to Bedford
