In The Footsteps of a Fugitive

PRLog (Press Release) - Aug. 17, 2011 - Trevor Antill was the creator of Britain's second longest, signed, long-distance trail, The Monarch's Way. It closely follows the escape route that Charles 11 took after his defeat at Worcester. It starts at Powick Bridge and finishes at Shoreham in Sussex, and runs through The Mendips, Cotswolds and South Downs.

Trevor had been nominated for an honour but died in August 2010. It was always his wish to see The Monarch's Way designated as a National Trail.

He also formed The Monarch's Way Association, made up of members who are interested in walking and history. It is these volunteers that maintain the trail signage and send back section reports.

His widow, Margaret Antill, asked Colin Ayling, to take over the day-to-day management of The Monarch's Way, with the help of other family members.

They have built a new website, ( http://www.themonarchsway.com) and have asked the Rt. Hon. Anne Widdecombe to become their patron - she agreed.

The Mayor of Fecamp in France, where Charles 11 landed, has been contacted to see if he would participate in the relaying of Trevor Antill's boots.
