Well Summer (did we have one?) is almost over and Autumn is on its way. But before the winter weather finally arrives, why not make the most of the crisp Autumn weather and get out and about by joining in with Guernsey Walking Week?

What is Guernsey Walking Week?
Walking Week is a twice-yearly event (sponsored by Healthy Direct™) that has been growing from strength-to-strength since 2005 and this year looks to be the best yet!

The Autumn Walking week starts on Saturday 20th September and finishes on Sunday 28th of September. The walks are designed to give hikers and strollers alike a chance to explore both natural and man -made wonders on the beautiful island of Guernsey. The programme gives walkers the oppertunity to walk from coast to coast, along cliff paths, around the town of St Peter Port or through some of the lesser-known parishes also steeped in history. There are all sorts of walks on offer to suit “all walks of life”. There are coastal and inland half-day rambles as well as all-day hikes along the dramatic cliffs so that visitors can see the fantastic range of views and scenery offered by the islands.

Each walk is lead by an expert guide with vast local knowledge matched only by their passion for the islands. Your journeys will take you not just along footpaths, but through time too as you discover more about the local history, culture and people. It’s the ultimate way of exploring and discovering the charms of the Channel!

Wandering FREE!
The guides are offering their walks at a special rate of £5 for each short or half day’s walking but if you’re a really keen walker you could do all of your walks for FREE thanks to Healthy Direct™’s rebate scheme.

Once you have finished and logged four or more walks from the programme, you can claim back their cost. Just ask your walking guides for a sticker for each walk you finish, and then return a completed form (available in the Walking Festival leaflet*) with the stickers attached to Healthy Direct™ (Healthy Direct Limited, PO Box 325, The Grange, St Peter Port, Guernsey GY1 3TT). Your money will then be refunded to you directly.

The Walking Festival leaflet (including a map of the island showing all the walks’ starting points) is now available from the Visitor Information Centre in St Peter Port or via download (see right).
