MACMILLAN MILE – The annual Macmillan charity walk took place last week and, as usual, there was a large number of walkers. The event was one of the Macmillan Walk Wonders 2008 events. The walkers were started by Knighton Mayor Peter Reynolds with his whistle, they then set off up the street, down by the Offa’s Dyke Centre, to the river, they followed the river until they came to Kinsley Road and then headed back to town, stopping at The Kinsley for refreshments. The walk raised hundreds of pounds for the charity.
