From August 2016 to July 2017 ZHRO members Rashiwe Bayisayi and John Burke set about finding a practical walking route from Brighton to London. Some 100 miles of walking later; By utilising the old railway route, now called the Downs Link, that took us all the way to Guildford. From Guildford the River routes allowed us to get to Kempton Park and latterly Hampton Court. We have now completed 8 such walks:
2017 to 2022 each year [whilst we did WALK4FREEDOM in 2020, 2021 and in 2022 during "Lockdown" the end result was we skipped 2023 and 2024 unfortunately]. So we re-started in 2025 and 2026. However we did do some regiaonal WALKS 4 FREEDOM in 2023 and  see MAY 2023 - North Yorkshire but in 2023 and 2024 we did a record number of Petition Deliveries and Demos instead See ARTICLE

Also see preparation articles due soon and our Facebook Page too

UPDATE: 25th March 2026

Melody has the flyer completed - a little time ago - and this has been doing the rounds on WhatsApp and Facebook.

We have booked 5 rooms in a Blackburn Hotel for those travelling from a distance - South Coast, Cardiff, Stockton-on-Tees [in separate vehicles we may add! - such a pity regarding the fuel prices recently - Luckymore Masanzu is doing the drive down from Stockton-on-Tees - with a car full of Ladies!] etc. Hopefully arriving around 5:00 pm on the Friday. Maybe a get together for those living locally. We appear to be 10 in number, at the Hotel at this time.

It looks like a very busy day with up to 50 walkers expected on 28th - it is only a modest distance, but the route up into the countryside [have a good look at tlast year's Flickr Album - and look at that SUN as well!] - For those avid map readers the Contours on the OS map will give an idea of both elevation and steepness at certain points. In a couple of places there are even steps. Good for those thigh muscles - bums and tums too!

Weather looks a little cloudy - which is OK to keep cool - so long as the rain holds off. The Forecast is looking good in that regard right now [Wednesday afternoon] - but this is the UK.  And here on the South Coast we have just had a Hail Storm - the sky was deep purple as it passed over!
