Looe Valley Walking Festival 2008 is run and organised my Mark Camp, a qualified Blue Badge Guide, who has lived in the Looe area for over 30 years. The festival consists of five days of walking in and around the Looe valley, including walks on Bodmin Moor, the South West Coast Path and a pub crawl around Looe itself!
First of all – our apologies to Mark and all concerned. We met the other day in the TIC and I mentioned I would add this to ilovelooe but time has flown by and we’ve all but missed the whole event! Sorry Mark.
According to the literature about the walks and the walkaboutwest website, there have been a number of interesting and intoxicating walks in and around Looe. The one I really wanted to go on was the Historic Pub Crawl! Perhaps you can run this one again for all of us who missed it.
Anyway, below is a list of the walks that were held this year. Let’s hope we can get our act together to get to some of them in 2009!
