MALVERN WALKING
FESTIVAL
THE 2012 PROGRAMME IS NOW HERE
WE HAVE ANOTHER 9(+2) DAYS OF THEMED WALKS IN ELGAR COUNTRY
Saturday 26th May to Sunday 3rd (Tuesday 5th) June 2012
The main 2012 Festival will again be over 9 days
Saturday 26th May to Sunday 3rd June 2012
Due to popular demand we are including the 2010 Heritage Trail again - to avoid overlaps we are running the Heritage trail into the extended Spring Bank Holiday - finishing on the Tuesday, an extension of 2 days to include the last 2 days of the Heritage Trail
Keen walkers can walk for a continuous 11 days if they wish.
SOME CHALLENGE!
This year we have a completely new DISCOVERY TRAIL. Meticulously developed by Bob Baldwin once again, who leads it in person. This year he ventures back to the East of the Malvern Hills. Following straight after the new DISCOVERY TRAIL, Derek Starkey will lead the 2010 HERITAGE TRAIL over the original 6 days track, making a continuous 11 days walking - who will take that on?

The Malvern Hills End-to-End walk is always in high demand, so in 2012 we make it a double event again with a staggered start. Early Booking was essential!
ALSO, as a real challenge, we have the "Malvern Hills End-to-End AND BACK". Only for serious and fit walkers!
We have now also added one more challenging walk - only for serious & fit walkers - The FULL length of the "Worcestershire Way" - in a day! All 31 miles! Meeting in Malvern we will bus you to the start in Bewdley, you walk back. As usual all our strenuous walks have very experienced, fit, walk leaders.

The beautiful Malvern Hills are the jewel in the crown of this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This 9 days of walking will be your opportunity to enjoy some of our breathtakingly beautiful views in the company of others. You will have a friendly guide to both lead the way and to indicate points of interest you may normally have missed. You will see views that have not changed greatly since Edward Elgar walked his beloved Malvern Hills and was inspired to write his music all those years ago. Some of these walks will be planned to appeal to families as well as serious walkers. Most walks will have some value to walkers who are also interested in natural history, local history and the geology of this beautiful area.
