The long trek from St Ouen’s Church to the Royal Square follows the path taken by one of the militia groups who fought the French on 6 January 1781.

Earlier this year the walk had to be cancelled because of snow, but organisers hope it will go ahead next month.

But walkers have been warned about the early 9 am start time for the event on Saturday 8 January, which begins at St Ouen’s Church and passes St Lawrence’s Church at 10.45 am before arriving in the Royal Square at about 12.15 pm.
