About the event

Participants will undertake guided walks and produce writing in response to nature, sharing their stories and lived experiences of the local area, from memories, personal histories and family stories. Walks will be led by poet and walk leader So Sparham, the walks allow participants to immerse themselves in the natural world, whether it's a park in the town centre or a day out in the hills.

 

All walks will have details at the point of booking including, date, distance, time of the workshop and an ability recommendation. We’ll also provide a meeting point for participants, and we have tried to ensure that there is a bus route or car park near the starting point of each walk. We have aimed to make the walks as accessible as possible however if there are access concerns about any particular route, we have made a note on each walk and we encourage you to get in touch regarding any concerns.



Each walking event will provide details regarding length, route, requirements and accessibility.

 

“Walks. The body advances, while the mind flutters around it like a bird.” - Jules Renard

 

We ask participants to provide themselves:


- Sensible walking gear

- Water

- Snacks

- Any medication they might require

- A notebook 

- A pen 

 

We try to make all our walks as accessible as possible and require participants to inform us about medical conditions before the day of the walk. Participants will be asked to provide an emergency contact at the point of booking and inform the team members if they have any medical conditions or needs.

 

“Me thinks that the moment my legs begin to move, my thoughts begin to flow.” - Henry David Thoreau
