In 2008 the Isle of Wight Walking Festival will be celebrating 10
years of the festival on the Island. To help celebrate there are over
250 walks in the programme ranging from 400 yards to an outstanding 72
miles – a walk for all ages and abilities. There are a lot of extra
activities in the programme this year so look out on the website for
new information.
One of the extra celebrations for the 10th year will be an addition
celebratory walking weekend at the end of the year. 24 – 27th October –
we will be organising a weekend of walking, for those of you who wish
to come back at the end of the year and experience some of our autumnal
walks.
The Launch
On Saturday 3rd May there will be a launch of the Festival. There
will be a “Celebration of the Riverside and Walking” down by the
Riverside, where there will be chances to take part in Riverside walks,
and a lot of waterside activities. If you are feeling brave, there will
be a chance to “Walk Tall” and try your hand at Stilt Walking at one of
our workshops.
The highlight will be in the evening at Medina Theatre:
An evening with Ben Fogle
And a night of magical adventure with Ordnance Survey
For more information on the evening please visit the Ben Fogle news item.
