The Steps2Health walkers trod a very ancient path on Saturday, the origins of which are lost in the mists of time (writes B.S.). Barbara Morris led a local walk which provided us with a variety of contrasting scenes all in the space of an hour and it was new territory for many of the large group. Leaving behind the busy streets of Tenby, we encountered even more traffic as we crossed Kiln Park where the newly arriving visitors were being greeted by sunshine after Friday's incessant rain. It was when we crossed over the road from Kiln Park filling station that we entered an almost mysterious, largely forgotten highway. A highway of centuries ago that is. The footpath through The Nabbs gave us seclusion, peace and rural views that made us forget the busy roads not far away. As this is not an area to walk alone, it was ideal to be able to enjoy this old haunt in safe company. It would certainly be interesting to hear from any reader who can throw light on this route which affords a dry pathway through largely marshy ground - and why it is known as The Nabbs? It was back to 'civilisation' as we had to negotiate The Clicketts and Heywood Lane to reach our very special refreshment stop. This was Tenby In Bloom's winning garden in Class One and we were there at the kind invitation of Val and Clive Church. The sun shone warmly on the idyllic setting of the colourful garden in Oakridge Acres and we lesser gardeners marvelled at the artistic floral displays and the clever design that gave so much interest and variety in a comparatively small area. We all very much appreciated the kind hospitality of Val and Clive. It was all most sociable and enjoyable. We very much hope for another sunny morning tomorrow (Saturday) for our walk from St. Florence to Tenby, as we will be stopping off for coffee at Trefloyne Golf Club where, weather permitting, we will be able to sit out on the terrace and enjoy the tranquil views. The Silcox 360 bus leaves Somerfield 10.40 am. Do join us!
