2024 Festival Feedback

We have analysed your feedback and taken note of the comments. 

​Here are some typical comments:

"Wonderful event - thank you to all involved for their hard work. I wish I had done more of them."

"very interesting discovered some footpaths didn't know that were there"

"Probably my best Wellington walk ever, perfect weather, great team and walkers. Nice easy walking through Apley reserve and on to Wappenshall wharf learning about the renovation of the canal buildings (and a great cup of tea) and Eyton Hall- followed by picnic on the lawn of a stately home. Hard to beat. Can I do it again next year?"

"Interesting route and very knowledgeable leader made this another great walk. The red church stop was a bonus. Very well organised, lots of information, good stopping points enabled absorption and reflection on information given"

​

​

Our  2025 festival will featured 33 walks ranging from gentle strolls to a strenuous 13.5 mile walk, with something to suit everyone.  There is a film showing too.

​The full programme will be available very shortly and the events will soon be open for booking on our

Our 2024 festival featured 31 events ranging from gentle strolls to a strenuous 13.5 mile walk, with something to suit everyone.  We estimate that, across the 30 walking events, 258 participants accrued 435 attendances on walks, covering  a total of 2372  miles. (Land's End to John O'Groats by road is reckoned to be 874 miles.)

 

Thanks to our leaders, back markers and participants for making it such a success.

 

There's a selection of photos in our Festival 2024 gallery, and many more on our Facebook page, and our Facebook group.​​​​​​​
