Be Military Fit with Bear Grylls (BMF) is leading the hunt for 100 fi tness fans from Kent to take part in a special one-off event with the aim of raising funds for Royal British Legion Industries (RBLI), a charity celebrating 100 years of providing employment, homes and welfare support for wounded military veterans. Britain’s Bravest Military Challenge, a mass participation event, will take place at 20 locations around the UK on Saturday 28th September – including Mote Park in Maidstone – and will see participants put to the ultimate military fi tness test. BMF has worked with military

Organisers are aiming to recruit 100 participants at each location, each targeted with raising £100 towards RBLI’s Centenary Appeal. • For more details of the Maidstone event, and to register to participate, visit

Discover Dunorlan Park
Dunorlan Park is a quiet, secluded area less than a mile from the bustling centre of Tunbridge Wells, offering peace and tranquility in an otherwise busy world. Bought by Tunbridge Wells Borough Council in the late 1950’s, the Friends of Dunorlan Park was offi cially launched as a charity in 1997 and, through their hard work, dedication and the help of many wonderful volunteers, the park continues to thrive. Various events are held in the park each
year. The borough council organises some events, but the Friends are proud to have their own, most of them annual, including a Summer Picnic in mid-July, a Tree Walk and a Fungal Foray, while a Bat Walk offers the
Meet the town’s
chance to listen to bats in their own dark environment and keeps everyone alert to spot them fl ying around.
Dunorlan Park has a wonderful children’s
play area including new items, such as the rope swing and bee-rocker, while the boating lake, which has been a feature of the park since 1949, is very popular and the cafe offers lovely food at great prices. • Visit
