What they said:
We chose to run a taster of a coastal walking trail we are developing. We had a walk guide for the duration of the walk, a bird expert and whale and dolphin expert at 2 points to give information and answer questions walks may have had. We finished the walk with soup, bread and a cuppa at a local social club.
We try to take part in the festival as often as possible where staff time allows. With this event being a taster of the walking route we are currently developing it was great to get reactions from locals and those from further away, the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Many of the walkers asked if we would run more walks as they enjoyed this one so much. A short feedback from has been sent out to all who booked on.
