Please read the WALK NOTES page for general instructions and advice.

To book on to a walk, email bookings@ulverstonwalkfest.com with just the walk number and the names of all walkers. We will respond to confirm your booking. If you subsequently cannot make a walk, please let us know, using the above email, so that your place may be reallocated.

If you need a lift to a walk, mention this and we will try to arrange it. But Note: this is only for those who do not have a car available locally. For those with a car available, please car share where practical – see the WALK NOTES page.

• Unless stated otherwise, Easy and Moderate walks will be limited to 20 walkers and Moderate Plus and Hard walks to 12 walkers.

• With the exception of the short evening walks, which are free, all other walks will attract a fee of £3 per person per walk, to be paid to the walk leader on the day. A voluntary collection for Mountain Rescue will also be taken at the end of appropriate walks.
