These are walks with historical and other themes prepared by one of our members, Jane Rosoux.

This is a 60- mile walk from the South Bank to Wendover in 6 sections. 

The walk was devised in 1994 by Gerald Colton, who was a founder member of the Hampstead Group and its Walks Organiser and main leader for the first decade of the Group's existance until his death on 9 October 1995. Gerald called the walk, which went from the statue of Nelson Mandela near Waterloo Bridge to the monument on the top of Coombe Hill near Wendover to those Buckinghamshire men who died in the Boer War, the Mandela Way because 1994 was the year of free elections in South Africa and he equated that cause with the Ramblers' Association's cause of freedom to roam. It was subsequently renamed the Gerald Colton Way in Gerald's honour.

The route description was written by Hazel Burnett after Gerald Colton's death. Please note that it has not been updated since 2002.
