Behind the scenes - a fortnight to go!

It’s only a couple of weeks now until the festival begins (1st - 31st May) and so in this episode I go behind the scenes to meet organiser Jen Graham and find out what’s in store.

This podcast is all about bringing some of the flavour of the festival and the walks on offer and so I go on a wellbeing ramble with the friendly Greenway walkers.

We hear from the highly popular Bristol Steppin Sistas about their walking group.

The Guide Dogs for the Blind are putting on a walk this year and so I get to meet a couple of the guide dogs in training down at the centre in Bedminster - and of course Volunteer Coordinator Pat Janecka!

Bristol Walk Fest runs from 1st - 31st May 2022.

Bristol Walk Fest is coordinated by Active Ageing Bristol, hosted by Age UK Bristol with funding from Bristol City Council and Bristol Ramblers.
