Saturday walk programme 2022

 Join us for a Walk this spring, summer and autumn as we START OVER ON THE  cornish celtic way- visiting places of the cornish celtic saints’ heritage and with inspiration from the guidebook ‘A cornish celtic way’.

Nigel and Penny Marns, together with others from the Cornish Celtic Way informal walking group, will be organising a number of walks: starting from St German’s Priory and walking along the Cornish Celtic Way route.

PLEASE NOTE:

We will be walking from one place to another, so that drivers will be offered a lift with another person in order to return to their car from the end of the walk. If you do not want to be a passenger in someone else’s car, then please arrange alternative transport for yourself. Please bring your own refreshments / packed lunch. There will be car support for those who are unable to complete the whole route.
