The morning was mild and sunny and we successfully Way Marked Footpath number 23 to Haversham Parish Boundary. Difficulties were encountered on Bridleway number 24 and it was decided more research and discussion with the Land Owner was required before it could be Way Marked. We walked the Bridle Way back into Tathall End and then walked and Way Marked Footpaths 49, 69, and 6 on Mr. Williams land returning to Mrs. Monk’s for well earned refreshments.

The Group assembled at 9.40a.m. on Park Road to begin Way Marking. Owing to the bad weather the previous week the ground was frozen and snow drifts were encountered. Despite conditions underfoot we successfully marked Footpath number 4 on Mr. Holes land and also Bridleways numbered 5 and 51 around Hanslope Park to Linford Wood.
Parish Council: Mrs. Gothard & Mrs. Read. Leader Akela Sunday Feb 8th 1987 The Group assembled at 9.30a.m. at the entrance to Green Lane on a damp overcast day. Although whilst on the route we encountered heavy conditions and a few obstructions on the footpaths we very nearly completed the planned mornings route. Footpath numbers 76, 1, 52, & 59 were marked to Lincoln Lodge from Green End Lane and return by Cockoo’s Hill.

Although the ground underfoot was very heavy in places we successfully marked Footpath number 2 from the Church to the Castlethorpe Boundary and then made our way to Castlethorpe Road to mark Bridleway number 12 to its end at Higham Cross. We returned via footpaths 63 & 71 but did not complete all of the way marking because permission had not been obtained.

Met at 9.15a.m. Headquarters on a sunny morning and then walked along Cuckoo Hill footpath we had already way marked in February. We then proceeded to way mark footpath number11 over the railway until we reached Bridleway number 13 by Milford Leys Cottage. We then way marked Footpath number 79 which runs along the old Mill Race from Castlethorpe Parish Boundary to the Bucks/Northants boundary after discussing the project with Mr. Frost at Milford Leys Farm. We then walked back onto Bridle Way number 13 to way mark around Mr. Sawbridge’s property at Lincoln Lodge. Having reached a point where the Bridleway leaves the concreted surface we decided to make our way homeward because of the time available and problems in finding posts to attach our signs. Walked along footpath number 1 from Lincoln Lodge to Green End with cautious eyes on a nesting swan and also erecting extra signs on this previously way marked footpath.

Met at Stocking Green Farm at 9.15a.m. on a warm sunny day and walked on Mr. Beasley’s land on Bridleway number 10. No way marking was undertaken on Mr. Beasley’s land as permission had not been granted but we proceeded onto Bridleway numbers 27, 35, 36 and 10 way marking on the walk. Having reached the Forest and the Parish Boundary we retraced our steps to Forest Farm and way marked Bridleway number 10 to the Motorway bridge. On the walk we observed some bridge construction work had been undertaken over ditches to enable Bridleways to have a free route. The Group were very pleased with the progress made over the six months and a large amount of Footpaths and Bridleways within the Parish had been way marked. The remaining rights of way and extra posts with markers where more positive signs could help riders and walkers were decided to be put in abeyance until the new Parish Council were elected in May.
