Walkathon: seconds out!

2013 WALKATHON SPONSOR FORM

The NEN Walkathon is just four days away now – I hope your rigorous training regime, like mine, is holding up in this tropical weather …

Another alternative route to consider:

THE TIPPLER’s TRAIL

Local legend Big Boab Baxter
Local legend Big Boab Baxter

I could regale you with the tale of the Boswall Battler – Big Boab Baxter, the barefist bruiser – but I will save that story for another day. Instead, here’s are the watering holes that make up the historic Tippler’s Trail:

Telford Arms, Telford Road

The Doo’cot, Ferry Road

Ferry Boat, Ferry Road

The Gunner, Pennywell Road

The Anchor, West Granton Road

For seasoned drinkers walkers you could add detours into Davidson’s Mains and/or continue beyond the Anchor to The Old Chain Peir and beyond … each tavern is a new adventure!

Cheers!
