Hope Hill - the 90 year old inspiration for High Weald Walkers
15th July, 2009

On 31st July 2009 the High Weald Walkers group, which is part of the Ramblers and which is based in Crowborough, East Sussex, celebrates the 90th birthday of its oldest member, Hope Hill. Born in Penrith, the daughter of a country clergyman and raised in the Eden Valley (then Westmorland) - the family had no car, so Hope learnt the joys of walking from an early age. A favourite walk was Murton Pike. When she was still quite young she was sent to boarding school, where she discovered a talent for most sports, including cricket. Later she studied at Edinburgh University, and left with a degree in Chemistry. As it was war-time, she soon found herself a job in the Ministry of Supply, inspecting explosives for artillery shells.
