Comments from Festival walkers
I have never done anything like this before (or walked those distances) and can honestly say it was one of my best experiences. Thank you.
Thank you so much for leading yesterday’s walk – it was a bit of a revelation! 40 years in Reading and never knew the area at all.
A walk with purpose really helped to put everything back in perspective. It is unlikely I would have ventured out on my own for such a long walk so many thanks!
The enthusiasm and generous sharing by the leaders was inspiring.
Great initiative Loved my walk!
Thoroughly enjoyed this walking festival, it is great that Reading has organised a festival like this & long may it continue
The two walks I attended were very well led, with leaders who clearly knew their subject, were enthusiastic and encouraged participants to contribute to the discussions.
I loved my time mentally and physical. It truly uplifted me. My spirit was through the roof, beautiful people and learnt so more about Reading walks was just around the corner from me.
