Tipsy launch for birthday baton
West Cornwall’s (in)famous annual Trencrom Tipsy Toddle on New Year’s Eve provided the launch pad for the Ramblers’ 75th Anniversary Baton Walks – which will see local Ramblers ‘pass’ a baton around England, Scotland and Wales throughout 2010. More than 40 walkers of all ages strolled to the giant megalith at Trencrom for mulled wine, soup and mince pies. Organiser Sylvia Ronan, who joined the Ramblers in 1961, said: “We all felt honoured to be there at the launch of the baton walks programme, and hope that everyone else will enjoy taking part in them as much as we did”.
