THE Ridgeway Walk is celebrating its 40th birthday by producing a special report on the history of the route.

The 40-mile challenge walk from Marlborough to Streatley is held every May and this year attracted 165 walkers. The report looks at the history, the highlights of the walk and includes amusing anecdotes from the walkers. Copies, £2.50, from Alan Smith at 3 Harlington Road, Bexleyheath, Kent, DA7 4AS.
