New Year’s Day Turkey buster walk

Join your National Trust for Jersey guide Bob Tompkins on New Year’s Day at 11.30 am on a walk around the beautiful green lanes in the Parish of St John.

The ‘Turkey Buster’ provides an opportunity to clear fuzzy heads and lose a few Christmas calories in the process before starting again on New Year’s Day lunch!

Meeting in the carpark at St John’s School at 11.30 am, the walk will cross the main road and turn right at the Village Store and travel up La Rue du Temple, carrying straight on to La Rue de L’Église before taking the next turn left into La Rue de la Guyon and at the junction with La Rue es Nonnes and La Route du Nord. The walk will end via La Rue des Buttes where we will retrace our steps to St John’s School after which chocolates and a nip of Sloe Gin will be available to fortify everyone in the Parish Hall before returning to the car park.

There is no need to pre-book, walkers are invited to just turn up. Dogs on leads are also welcome.

Any donations raised on the day will go towards the National Trust for Jersey’s Coastline Campaign. Our vision is to ensure that remaining areas of unspoilt coastline are permanently protected, clean and healthy, rich in wildlife and accessible for both Islanders and visitors to enjoy and we have pledged to permanently safeguard a further 1,000 vergées of unspoilt coastline over the next twenty years.

Please wear suitable footwear and outer clothing.
