Caterham on the Hill Parish Councillors are hoping residents will join them for his year's Circular Walk on Saturday 2nd June at 11.30am. (Please note the time of 11am was incorrect in the Caterham Carnival program.) The walk is approximately six miles long and where possible follows the boundary of Caterham on the Hill Parish. "Beating the Bounds" is an ancient, and once widespread custom. A group procession walked around the 'Bounds' of a common, carrying sticks or 'wands' to hit landmarks along the way. This was believed to pass knowledge of the land onto the next generation. The walk will start at St Mary's church car park at 11.30am. There will be a break for refreshments after three miles, near Coulsdon Common, where people who can only do three miles can leave or join. Please bring a packed lunch.
