This year's festival will be a mix of themed and full day walks featuring old favourites and some new ventures. We are well placed for exploring geology, industrial archaeology and a variety of habitats. The Wrekin and the Ercall are bound to feature. We are hoping to repeat last year's innovation, a tour of a local factory's eco-garden topped off by a pizza cooked on an open air wood burning stove. Full details later in the year.
