On 15th July Bulletin editor Neville Hargreaves will be setting out over Blewburton Hill to walk 666 miles to the Isle of Islay in Scotland.
Neville writes: The Miles to Malts challenge is a personal quest which I’ve been thinking about for many years, but it’s also been inspired by the Pennine Way Challenge that my dear late friend and Blewbury resident Susan Fletcher Watts created three years ago, when 180 of us raised over £100,000 for research into Motor Neurone Disease. This walk will take 7 weeks; I’ll be joined by a few friends for part (or in one case all) of the way. Both Blewbury and Islay were special places for Susan; we’re dedicating the walk to her memory and raising further funds in aid of her MND cause.
So please support us, and this important cause, by donating via Susan’s JustGiving page here: http://bit.ly/3SNEEH5

Meanwhile, the Bulletin must go on! I’ll be compiling the September issue during the trek, which is why I’ve asked for an earlier deadline. Neville Hargreaves
