The answer is YES, the dates being the 16th to the 23rd of September. I am not sure how many walks I am going to be able to do, as I am now working for Visit Cornwall in Truro, but rest assured there will be a nice mixture of walks around the area, both long and short, and middleish! The Festival will start with the now traditional walk to the Duloe Beer and Cider Festival on Saturday 16th September, times to be confirmed, and during the following week I already have pencilled in a walk around Quethiock, Caradon Hill and a foraging walk near Saltash. I have missed being in Looe and not bumping into people on the streets or answering your questions in the TIC, so it would be great to see some of you on a walk or two.

Under the firm stewardship of Wendy and Steve Smith (to whom go grateful thanks), the first phase of competition ended in a tense play-off final, won in the end by Wendy Smith (no fix there then!). The company then paused to enjoy a BBQ under sunny skies, where Chris Roy took the prize for the most exotic BBQ and Laurie Watson for the most smoke.
