We have been in touch with BBC Countryfile and asked if they would be interested in doing a follow up to the item they did 4 years ago. We got a hopeful response and the matter has been approached to the research team. Similarly, as the result of maintaining contact with the producer of the 2 BBC Inside Out programmes and the “Wainwright’s Long Walk” programme we have been introduced to the producer of the “One Show” and their development team will look into doing a feature. More on the publicity theme, Peter Burgess has introduced us to Andrew White, founder of Nova Productions, who produce walking videos and podcasts under the name of “Walks around Britain” and it is hoped that our president will record a podcast about the Pennine Journey shortly. Our PJ-in-a-Day event continues to gather support. Charities including Hospice at Home, the Yorkshire Dales Society, Cumbria Wildlife Trust, and Leukaemia & Lymphona Reasearch, have signed up to participate and others are looking to get interest from their supporters before taking part. Details of the walking festival are now available on http://www.northpennineswalkingfestival.org.uk.

  • WALKING with OFFA Summary Recommendation
    Committee and Date Item Shropshire Hills AONB Partnership 7 February 2012 9 WALKING WITH OFFA Responsible Officer Clare Fildes, Development Oficer e-mail: [email protected] Tel: 01588 674094 Fax 01588 674099 Summary This paper provides members with a summary of the recently completed phase of the Walking with Offa project in the Shropshire Hills, and will be supplemented at the meeting by a brief presentation. Recommendation The Partnership is recommended to note the information provided and offer comments. Background The project was funded principally from a ‘Natural Assets’ grant (Advantage West Midlands funding linked to the environmental economy, administered by Natural England). This was a joint project with the Wye Valley AONB, but only Shropshire Hills activity and outputs are described here. The staffing elements of the bid were not accepted, and due to the winding up of AWM the timescale for implementation was brought forward. This meant that the whole project outputs had to be delivered in 18 months rather than the 30 months planned with no additional staff resource, and this has been very challenging. However the project has been very successful, with some high profile new activity, and there is some continuity with the Walking with Offa LEADER co-operation project described elsewhere. The Project had four distinct elements, and the report below is structured around these: 1. Improving the Walking Offer 2. Offa's Country Information and Interpretation 3. Business and community engagement and training 4. Walking
