Walkers wanted, to test new booklet

Fame! Fortune! Your name in lights! None of these will be yours (not for what we're about to ask, anyway). But we'll be awfully grateful.

Two years ago, we published Richmond Walks, a little full-colour booklet describing four circular walks from Richmond, "to suit all tastes and abilities". It has been a real success, with thousands of copies sold through the Information Centre, at outlets around Richmond, and online.

Now we're planning a follow-up. Pootling round Richmond (working title) will feature eight more walks - four starting and finishing in Richmond, four in Swaledale - and is slated for publication late this year or early in 2021. Volunteers are needed now to 'road-test' the selected walks, which are between 5 and 8 miles long and of easy-to-moderate difficulty (the clue is in "pootling"). 

Whether you're visiting Richmond for a few days, or are a local who think you know all the walks in the area, we'd love to hear from you. Interested? Please contact [email protected].
