A Northern Get Together was organised by Kirkby Stephen on 10th August at Kirkby Stephen Hostel. There were 49 delegates from all over the north of England, one from Scotland and also WAW Chairman, Sam Phillips and his wife from Ross-on-Wye.

The purpose of this Mini Get-Together was to bring together northern Walkers are Welcome towns and villages for the purpose of networking and sharing best practice. Delegates used the opportunity to discuss their successes and seek advice from others. Overall, the meeting was very worthwhile and a similar event will be held.  Maybe other areas of the country may wish to replicate.
