Enjoy the great outdoors in Palm Sunday Walk this weekend

The walk will start this Sunday from White Hill Field in Sandys at 1:15pm, no later than 2:45pm.

The route is around seven miles and should take about 2 and a half hours.

This year’s route traverses the breadth of the island from the Little Sound to South Shore and back again. As always the 2011 Palm Sunday Walk will take participants to places that the public rarely get to explore.

It will provide magnificent scenery like that of the coastline and greenery of the World famous Port Royal Golf Course and the panoramic vistas from rural Alton Hill.

The walk will also explore the wilderness that is Morgan’s Point and provide the first chance to see some unspoiled natural areas such as the Bermuda National Trust and the Bermuda Audubon Society’s new Vesey Nature Reserve and the Trust’s newly acquired Buck Island.

This year’s route will cross Tom Wadson’s farm where refreshments will be served provided by John Barritt & Sons Ltd.

Participants are advised to wear sensible shoes and to note that the route is not suitable for strollers or dogs.

Road-users on Middle Road in Southampton and Sandys on April 17 are asked to use care, as the walkers will be on the road for most of the afternoon.

The annual walk organized by the National Trust is sponsored by Argus.
