BNT celebrates 50 years of walking
More than 700 nature enthusiasts gathered in the East End yesterday to take part in the annual Bermuda National Trust Palm Sunday walk.
Marking its 50th anniversary this year, the five-mile course began at Clearwater Beach and took in Cooper’s Island Nature Reserve, St David's Lighthouse, Great Head and Little Head Parks.
The route was designed by Myles Darrell and Ronald Burchall, of the trust’s natural heritage department.
Karen Border, the executive director of the trust, said: "We were very fortunate that Mother Nature moved the bad weather through a day early and blessed us with a beautiful afternoon.
“Some humpback whales put in an appearance off Great Head, to the delight of many. The magnificent Figurehead Memorial to those lost at sea was another highlight of the walk.
“Thank you to everyone who turned out to walk and support the trust, and also to our many volunteers who helped keep the walkers safe and on the right track.”
