Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page,
which is raising money for the Park Mill Restoration Fund at Bateman's in East
Sussex.

In August, myself and some of my colleagues will be walking
across the Weald of Kent and East Sussex in order to raise money to get our
watermill at Bateman's repaired and making flour as it should (see below for
more information about Park Mill).

The walk will take seven days to complete, so come and cheer
us on. The walk will start at Bateman's on 16th August, and we will be visiting
Spriver's Garden, Scotney Castle, Sissinghurst Castle, Smallhythe Place, Lamb
House, Winchelsea countryside, Battle countryside and Bodiam castle.

We will be raising money through sponsorship from
individuals and local businesses, who I hope will support us along the way. This
will be quite a challenge for us, as none of us have ever done anything like this before. I certainly have never done this much exercise in one go!

Park Mill is an 18th Century watermill situated on the
banks of the River Dudwell on the Bateman's estate in East Sussex. Prolific
poet and author Rudyard Kipling purchased Park Mill alongside Bateman's in
1902, and it features in many of his best-loved poems and stories such as 'Puck
of Pook's Hill', 'Below the mill dam' and 'Sussex'. The mill was initially
restored back to working order in the 1970s, but needs our help again, as the
main axle tree that is turned by the waterwheel has rotted and collapsed after
40 years' service, bringing to a halt the production of Bateman's flour.
