The Circular Walk was created in 1996 by Adlington Conservation
Volunteers. There is no start or finish to the walk, you may join
or leave at any point. There are several caches that you can pick
up along the way as well as the 9 that we have placed. We did the
walk in two parts but it can easily be done as one circular walk.
It can be very muddy in wet weather and there are cow fields but
when we placed them the cows were not in the fields, but the
evidence was there.
Robert Nesta
"Bob" Marley (February 6, 1945 – May 11, 1981) was a Jamaican
singer-songwriter and musician. He was the lead singer, songwriter
and guitarist for the ska, rocksteady and reggae bands The Wailers
and Bob Marley & The Wailers . Marley remains the most widely
known and revered performer of reggae music, and is credited for
helping spread both Jamaican music and the Rastafari movement to a
worldwide audience. Marley's best known hits include "I Shot the
Sheriff", "No Woman, No Cry", "Could You Be Loved", "Stir It Up",
"Jamming", "Redemption Song", "One Love" and, together with The
Wailers, "Three Little Birds", as well as the posthumous releases
"Buffalo Soldier" and "Iron Lion Zion". The compilation album,
Legend (1984), released three years after his death, is reggae's
best-selling album, being 10 times Platinum In July 1977, Marley
was found to have acral lentiginous melanoma, a form of malignant
melanoma, in a wound reportedly picked up in a friendly football
match After the album Uprising was released in May 1980 the band
completed a major tour of Europe, where they played their biggest
ever concert, to a hundred thousand people in Milan. After the tour
Marley went to America, where he performed two shows at Madison
Square Garden as part of the Uprising Tour. Shortly afterwards his
health deteriorated and he became very ill, the cancer had spread
throughout his body. The rest of the tour was cancelled and Marley
sought treatment at the Bavarian clinic of Josef Issels, where he
received a controversial type of cancer therapy partly based on
avoidance of certain foods, drinks and other substances. After
fighting the cancer without success for eight months he boarded a
plane for his home in Jamaica. While flying home from Germany to
Jamaica, accepting that he was going to die, Marley's vital
functions worsened. After landing in Miami, he was taken to
hospital for immediate medical attention. He died at Cedars of
Lebanon Hospital in Miami on the morning of May 11, 1981, at the
age of 36. The spread of melanoma to his lungs and brain caused his
death. His final words to his son Ziggy were "Money can't buy life
