The Pickering Walkers are Welcome team are busy starting to organise the town’s third Walking Festival which will be held on the weekend of the 20/21/22nd of April 2012.

The Festival will consist of approximately 12 walks in and around the Pickering area. The walks will vary in length from 5 to 13 miles, and will require varying levels of fitness, so if you fancy a gentle stroll or a more strenuous hike, make a note of the date.

Further information will be updated to our Walkers are Welcome Website later in the year at www.pickeringwaw.btck.co.uk , or keep an eye out for us in the spring edition of the Beacon.
