RUTH’S Memorial Walks Thursday 24th July led by Bob and Celia

 
WALK 1 - A 5 mile morning walk starting from the Woodland Burial Ground car park at Keysoe (MK44 2JP) at 10.00am, returning about 12.30pm for a picnic lunch. The walk explored the countryside of North Bedfordshire and the various ‘ends’ of Keysoe.

 This walk was on the year anniversary to the day, of the Tragic accident that took Ruths life in a mountain fall in Glencoe.

The gathering before the afternoon walk

 

 

About 20 fellow members of the Toddington Ramblers  and family of Ruth joined up to walk around the adjoining fields and village of Keysoe. The weather was drizzly and ground muddy in places. Most were glad to arrive back at the Keysoe cafe for a sociable lunch.

 We were joined by Ruths sons James and Mike and Beth (Mikes wife) with Ruth's granddaughter Freya (almost 2yrs)  to head out on the second shorter walk in the afternoon. 

  

WALK 2 – A short 1.5 mile afternoon walk will start from the Woodland Burial Ground car park at Keysoe at 1.15pm, walking through the attractive parkland of the Keysoe International Equestrian centre and finishing up at Ruth’s graveside. 

Freya walked the whole 1 and half miles to keep with the group of now 25 of us even though the weather had turned to intermittent rain. It was comforting to see so many supporting the family in a moving walk for all of us.  

  

The walk ended up at Ruth's resting place.

 

 Members of the Ramblers placed lovely flowers on the Grave in remembrance.
