Our Spring 2013 newsletter is now out

May 2013 - 

On the blog

Penny Woods from The Guardian went looking for red kites in the snowy Chilterns, a reminder of the cold winter just passed. For something a little more spring-like, why not dip into the archives to read about our trip to Corrour?

Walk here ...

There’s more to Surrey than you might think. This route from Guildford quickly takes you away from the town and into the countryside along the River Wey.

Prize draw

For our April to June prize draw we are giving away a Base 120 sleeping mat from our good friends at Alpkit .It’s a 'go anywhere, do anything' mat, offering a good balance between weight, pack size and reliability. Solid, dependable, no matter where you are in the world - a bit like our friend Dom, but comfier to lie on. To enter, submit a walk before the end of June 2013.

Congratulations to the winners of the Car Free Walks hats; winner Pete Roberts sent us a picture of him wearing his prize at Conway RSPB reserve in Wales.
