WALKERS can enjoy a trail at Dinton Pastures that will raise money for youngsters in the borough.
The walk will be lined with crocheted hearts made by members of local craft group, the Barkham Hookers.
Gaynor White, who leads the group says: “First Days asked us to make hearts for the trail.
“We’ve done lots of similar projects before, and we love making them.
“We’ve done them in lots of colours and they will be scattered around the walk.”
Country Dry Cleaners have donated coat hangers, which Gaynor and her crafters bend into heart shapes to hang their crochet creations on.
“It’s lovely to think of people searching for them, and we’re pleased that the money will support First Days,” she says.
With letters to find along the way that will spell out a secret word, and facts about hearts to learn as they go, families can have fun as well as enjoying a countryside walk.
People wanting to take part should buy a map (suggested donation £3) from Nature Buggies or from Dinton Adventure Golf, both located at Dinton Pastures.
Once families have completed the trail they should return with their map, to collect a treat.
Treats have been sponsored by Alexandra Grange Care Home.
Monica Dunne from First Days says: “The trail is a family event in the great outdoors this half term.
“All money raised will go towards supporting households in our community who are struggling with the effects of financial hardship.”
The trail takes place from Saturday, February 11 through to Sunday, February 19.
