Courtesy of Lord Montagu and the Countryside Education Trust, the walk took place in parts of the Beaulieu estate not normally open to the public. Nearly 60 people took part, some raising money for their own charity or good causes and many just enjoying the woods and countryside. People of all ages took part in the bug-hunt competition, looking for plastic bugs that are hidden amongst the foliage, whilst they enjoy the scenery. One local Scout Cub group raised a total of £500 on the walk and William Fielder, of 21st Romsey Scouts was walking to raise money to attend the 26th World Scout Jamboree in Gdansk in 2027. He has already raised £2,000 of the required £3,600 and he completed the shorter walk twice with his Mum and dog. Well done to all those who took part, and received a medal for their efforts as well as enjoying cakes and refreshments in the treehouse afterwards.
