A walking charity is calling on people in Bradford on Avon to slip on their trainers, boots, and shoes and join them at a free walking festival.

The Ramblers charity is hoping that as many people as possible join their walk on Saturday, May 30 to celebrate Get Walking Day 2009.

Tom Franklin, chief executive officer of the Ramblers, said: “Make this May weekend the best ever, by dusting down those shoes, opening your door and getting your friends and family out to join the Ramblers on one of our fun, free, festival events.

“It doesn’t matter how old you are or how much you use your legs, there’s a walk for everyone to enjoy this Get Walking Day.

“It’s a fantastic, free way to make new friends and make the most of the weekend.”

The walk is four miles long and participants should meet at Westbury Gardens by 9.30am ready for the walk at 9.45am.
