Aileen kicked started last week at the #Coalburn Miners’ Welfare #Lanarkshire showing project community ambassadors (aka super volunteers) how to upload their digital walking routes to #MiningLandscapes collection

After the Dalquhany route mapping Aileen and Catherine manned a stall at the ‘Meet the Funders and Partners that Serve the Community’ held in the stunning historic Miners’ Welfare Hall #Coalburn #Lanarkshire long but fun and productive day #Coal #MiningHeritage

Busy week for the project out with Donald finalising the #Coalburn 2 route #Lanarkshire that tells the story of the landscape lost to opencast coaling at Dalquhandy 1988-2004 once the largest site in Europe now remediated and redeveloped as a warm farm #coal #mininglandscape

Memory walks or daunders as our Aileen calls them are a great way of sharing our collection of landscape journeys with armchair walkers and dementia groups
