An award-winning sustainable business, Devonia Water, has joined the South West Coast Path Association as a sponsor of the Trailblazer Walk during our 50th anniversary year. We are delighted to have them step on board and look forward to them joining us on the walk when we pass through their South Devon section of the coast path.
Handcrafted walking sticks are the perfect item to lead the way on our 50th anniversary commemorative Trailblazer Walk! A walking stick at each start point of the Trailblazer Walk (Minehead and South Haven Point) will travel around The South West Coast Path and act as the relay batons until their reunion in Plymouth on the final day of the Walk.
Artist Emma Scattergood is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Association by sketching 50 pictures along the South West Coast Path as she attempts to walk 630-miles over the year, and raise funds for the charity at the same time! We will be following her journey and sharing her work as part of our trailblazing celebrations. This first blog, written by Emma, explains why she was inspired to take on the project and what she hopes will be some of the outcomes from walking and sketching the South West Coast Path during 2023.
As part of our 50th-anniversary celebrations, we asked our members to write to us with their experiences of walking the South West Coast Path. This series shares some of the personal stories of members who have supported the charity over the years.
