Festival of Winter Walks (26th
December 2008 - 4th January 2009)
 The
Festival of
Winter Walks is the Ramblers’ Association’s annual
festival of walks open to everyone, with many hundreds of walks
happening across England, Scotland and Wales.
While promising a healthy alternative to yet another mince pie
over the festive period, our family and health walks also offer
an opportunity to kick-start a programme of exercise to restore
health and vitality in the New Year.
Everyone is welcome and you do not have to be
a member of the Ramblers to take part. And if you decide to join
after the festival walk, you can take advantage of a 20% discount
so don't forget to ask a walk leader for a joining form.
Are you having difficulty finding a Christmas
present for a loved one or a friend? Why not consider buying them
a gift
membership? Details can be found on the Ramblers' Association
website.
