Celebrate 100 years of the RAF and discover one of the eight new walking and cycling trails launched in the county as part of the 100 Voices Campaign.
The University, a proud sponsor of the 38 mile Hampden trail, has been actively involved in the project led by Lincoln Big and Visit Lincoln. Professor Heather Hughes, from Lincoln International Business School, along with a small team of students have helped compile the 100 stories featured on the decorative wings marking the trails.
Each of the eye-catching information panels feature stories of people who have experienced life in the RAF from its foundation in 1918 through peace times and during conflict, which led to Lincolnshire becoming known as Bomber County.
These trails include walks and cycle routes which are designed to appeal to both occasional hikers and cyclists to ardent enthusiasts.
The walking routes include:
- Spitfire Trail (1.5 miles);
- Hawk Trail (1 mile);
- Lancaster Trail (4.5 miles);
- Sopwith Camel Trail (6 miles);
- Proctor Trail (12 miles).
The circular Cycle Routes include:
- Proctor Trail (12 miles);
- Handley Page Trail (45 miles);
- Hampden Trail (38 miles);
- Tiger Moth Trail (55 miles).
