Bristol Walk Fest 2022 begins!

The festival is starting! It gets going on Sunday May 1st and a number of the walks are being organised by the Bristol Ramblers.

In this episode the Chair of the Bristol Ramblers Heather Toyne joins us and tells us what walking means to her, how it runs in the family and what we might expect if we join them.

We hear from local Bristol Ramblers Marlies Morsink, Ian Brown and Carolyn MacNicholas who tell us why they love walking with the Bristol Ramblers.

Our resident rambling expert Nigel Andrews informs us about navigation and long distance walking.

Plus eccles cakes make an appearance.....!

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