25 years ago when the Mileaters walking group first started, they did some of the South Coast Path. On Monday 13th March, 15 of today’s group led by Roelie and Phil along with a dog, set off from the Martinstown’s village green to walk in their footsteps. We drove to Lyme Regis, parked the cars and caught a bus to Axmouth bridge. Immediately the walk was up hill through part of the golf course. Then came the coastal path and mud – lots an lots of mud. There wasn’t much let up from the mud even though the sun was shinning and a beautiful day for walking.

“Charlie was a darling all right!” by Mike Beesley
On a lovely late winter’s day in February 12 Mileaters set out for a really nice 6 mile country walk from West Stafford, across the water meadows, up through Duddle Heath and Thorncombe Woods to Hardy's cottage and back through Stinsford and Lower Bockhampton.

Despite a very cold wind, it was sunny and dry when thirteen bipeds and two quadrupeds, set out from Tarrant Keyneston on 13th February. It was a circular route of 5.75 miles, commencing at the “True Lover’s Knot” public house, quite appropriate for Valentine’s week!

It was rather like an Agatha Christie whodunit....."and then there were 5"; falls on the ice, colds and holidays to warmer climes (where it snowed !) all contributed to a small select band of Mileaters setting out on a day of thick fog to Evershot and Melbury Park.
