September Update

This month - updates to the Events and Festivals page and PDF with 2011 Festival dates, also an update to the Trails page with the addition of information relating to those Tracks & Trails with 'easy access'. (I am currently looking at ways in which I can promote access to the countryside for wheelchair and mobility scooter users).

August Update

The Events and Festival page has been updated with as many dates as we have for next year and of course it will continue to be updated as new dates are confirmed.

Anyone planning to walk 'The Lake District' in the near future would be advised to check the Lake District National Park website -Click this link as they have posted info about a closed footpaths.

Anyone planning to walk 'Hadrian's Wall' in the near future would be advised to check the OS website -Click this link
as they have posted info about a diversion and a new stamping point.

As the 'Well Dressing' season continues -this is a link to Derbyshire Well Drssing.com with a comprehensive list of Well Dressing Events in Derbyshire and surrounding areas

There are some general links below and more on the "Other useful sites" page - not only for walking but places of interest, nature and some sport / pastimes, These may give you ideas for a family day, a day walk or help you find information to plan a more ambitious adventure. There are also some ideas of what alternatives there are if the weather puts pay to your plans.

Our advice is that for local information about a town or area try the local County Council site / Town web site or Regional Tourist Information site. We have tried to provide links to as many useful sites / pages as possible. We also recommend the National Parks web sites, English Heritage, The National Trust, The Forestry Commission, Enjoy England and Visit Wales. We have included links to those sites you may not at fist think of as being of use when looking for somewhere to visit and explore but try the M.o.D..., the Water Companies, National Grid, Nature, History and Sports sites to name but a few. Although we try not to include commercial sites there are some useful sites for walking routes and maps. We hope you find something useful here and that you will add our site to your favourites and call back on a regular basis. The Editor.
