Ron Shaw was a great contributor to the creation of the Yorkshire Wolds Way

Away from mathematics, Ron Shaw was a member of the Ramblers’ Association, and a great contributor to the creation of the Yorkshire Wolds Way, one of 16 long-distance trails in England and Wales. The beautiful 79-mile route was officially opened in 1982, after much effort by many ramblers, staff of the East Riding of Yorkshire and North Yorkshire County councils and the Countryside Commission (now Natural England). Ron was one of the invited guests to the 25th-anniversary celebrations in 2007 at Fridaythorpe, the trail’s mid-point.
