Our group celebrated its 1,000th walk on 18 August by launching our first donated gate.
The kissing gate was dressed with bunting and balloons for the occasion. Chair Jean Murray cut the red ribbon. The gate is near Westhumble (grid ref TQ 155518) on a popular path between Denbies Vineyard and Polesden Lacey, All the stiles on this footpath have now been replaced with gates sponsored by SABRE, Hammersmith Fulham & Wandsworth Ramblers, Beacon Ramblers and Mole Valley Ramblers, whose footpath maintenance team carried out the installations.
