Haltwhistle Spring Walking Festival Goes Online

Posted by Ian Brown on Jan 24, 12 04:19 PM in Bloggers

The full programme of walks and events for the 2012 Haltwhistle Spring Walking Fesival is now all online.

The Festival runs between 28th April and 7th May and the times and dates for all 29 walks (and the social evening) have now been published on the Walking Festival website on www.haltwhistlewalkingfestival.org.

By visiting the site those interested in this established walking festival can also read full descriptions for all of the walks so that they choose walks that they can both physically manage as well as finding something of particular interest to themselves.

The cost for most of the walks remains at £6 but where they run over a series of days or where additional costs are incurred, such as transport or food (like an afternoon tea) then prices are higher.

Birds, alpacas, beer, singing and drumming are just some of the themes available in the prgramme for this spring.

Bookings for the walks can also be made through the website so people can plan their Walking Festival visit in the comfort of their own homes.

In addition, two weeks after the Walking Festival finishes, the annual Haltwhistle Challenge takes place on Saturday 19th May.

The Haltwhistle Challenge is a 26 mile cross country event, the Challenge for walkers is to complete the course within 11 hours whilst runners will be hand-timed. There are no prizes for the fastest finishers.

Participants can also enter this event on line through the Haltwhistle Walking Festival website.
