CHEMICAL ALLEY: a group of keen walkers and former nuclear industry workers have come up with a long- distance walk which celebrates the life of John Dalton.
The group which created a long distance walk which starts in Cockermouth have launched a website to support it.
The 45km John Dalton Way was created by a group of walking friends known as the Nuclear Striders, most of whom have worked in the nuclear industry.
They launched a booklet in May last year, to mark the 250th anniversary of Dalton's birth, and unveiled a plaque at the start in Kings Arms Lane.
After selling 500 copies they had to print a new set of guidebooks this summer.
They have now created a website - www.johndaltonway.com.
Nuclear Strider Phil Campbell, of Papcastle, said: "It tells people about the book, the walk and John Dalton himself."
