Sold out I’m afraid… popular again!

By ‘eck – that was popular. One wonders whether it’s a lovely walk or the cake that has made it so popular.

Here is a PDF of today’s talk: Introduction to Digital Mapping

Your feedback is most appreciated to help us improve the festival. Please take 5 minutes to fill in the survey form.

It’s not long now everyone until the walking festival kicks off this weekend. Join us for a soft launch at the Poachers Inn on Friday evening where you can meet some of the team and talk about the walks over a drink.

Whilst it might be a bit blustery today, the weather for next week is looking lovely. Fingers crossed. There are still a few tickets left for the coach trip walks this weekend:

The first is a 7 mile walk back from Whaley Bridge. The second is a longer 13 mile walk from Hayfield over Chinley Churn. The views from the later will be spectacular if not a little windy 🙂

There are also a couple of tickets left for the “Working up a Thirst” walk and visit to Torrside Brewery. This is a 10 mile walk – it says “Strenuous” but it’s not that bad! Gradual climb up to the Bowstones Ridge and then it’s *mainly* downhill, well apart from Black Hill. The bus returns to Bollington at 4:30pm and 5:30pm. There isn’t a tour at the brewery – we’re just there to enjoy the beer. But book soon as the last few tickets will soon go for this fun event:

See you all over the next week!

Don’t forget to get your tickets for the other events ASAP!

Hot news everyone – the leaflets for this years’ walks are going out for distribution as I type. Plus this website has been updated with all the walks. Some of the walks require pre-booking so get your tickets booked ASAP to avoid disappointment.

We’re also having a social event at the Poachers Inn this year on the Friday to soft-launch the festival. Come along and meet the team.

All the posts below this are from 2017. We’re in the middle of updating the website so please check back later…

The Major’s boundary walk this year was very well attended with around 60 people doing the 8.5 mile circular walk. A leaflet was produced to accompany the walk in case you are interested in doing it yourself

A big thank you to everyone who came along on the walks for another very successful festival. A big thanks also to the volunteers who gave up their time to help out.
