This time they are going to offer many themed guided walks, such as poetry walks with specially comissioned poems relating to the Suffolk countryside; storytelling walks through mystical woodland for children; photographic walks with experts on hand to advise on how to take the best landscape pictures; medieval meanders with costumed guides; children's trials which will include teaching them to build a den. As well as this, there will be several longer walks for the more seasoned walkers and walks to include a cream tea or other tasty refreshments. All walks will be guided by experienced and knowledgeable walks leaders. http://www.southandheartofsuffolk.org.uk/latest/south_and_heart_of_suffolk_walking_festival_2010

3 Jun to 6 Jun : Angus Glens Walking Festival 2010
The 2010 Angus Glens Walking Festival will feature a new walk which is aimed at experienced hillwalkers. In fact, the walk from Glen Tanar to Glen Esk via Mount Keen on June 5 has been judged so taxing by the Festival's highly-skilled mountain leaders, a new grading has been added to the Festival programme – 'Extremely Strenuous'. The Angus Glens Walking Festival 2010 includes another 21 guided walks, with walks to suit all ages and all levels of fitness and hillwalking experience, including the ever-popular Jock's Road Walk and a coastal walk from LunanBay to MontroseBasin. http://www.angusahead.com/AngusListings/News/walking-festival-2010-newwalks-nov09.asp
