Competition

The South Downs Way competition winner, Kim Billingham, was drawn at random from all the correct entries. The answer we were looking for was 4150m or 13600ft, as the ascent gained while walking or riding the Trail. However it can depend on which route you take at the eastern end, so we did allow other answers to be included in the draw.

Congratulations Kim, we hope you make good use of your prizes.

The competition for spring is based on the Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast Path National Trail, which is featured in the latest newsletter. To win an Official National Trail Guide book for the Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast Path, published by Aurum Press, plus other National Trail goodies, just answer the following question:

Which National Nature Reserve is at the western end of the Norfolk Coast Path?

The winner will be chosen at random at the beginning of August from all the correct entries.

Good luck
