No less than 34 walks from 3/4 of a mile up to 18 miles with the complete 35 mile Around Corby walking route over two days on May 2nd & 3rd. And Yes! There's also a 'Getting to Know You' walk to on the evening of Friday April 30th for walk leaders and anyone else that would like to come along.
Full details can be seen on the web site www.aroundcorby.co.uk including a downloadable programme of all the walks. Keep an eye on the site during the coming week for much more news to come.
There is something for everyone during the Festival no matter your reason for walking.
Besides sampling the fabulous countryside 'Around Corby' or the terrific green spaces within the town itself there is plenty of opportunity to visit the wonderful villages through which many of the walks will go.
But, to tickle anyone's fancy we have also included themed walks such as photography, history and nature. Oh! Almost forgot – there will be two demonstrations of Nordic Walking, the walking technique developed originally in Finland, which uses walking as the bases for toning and exercising both the lower and up upper parts of the body. Come and have a go!
In the park on the 1st will be a superb mini exhibition and display area featuring all sorts of organisations from Northamptonshire County Council to the Ramblers, a Bar-B-Q to a stall selling meats and pies, the local PCT to the chance to have a health check and much, much more.
The day will also be our official launch of the Walkers are Welcome accolade for the Corby Community.
Whether it's for one, two or all three days, please come along, you will be made most welcome.
