South Pennines Walk and Ride Festival 2009

Fixtures and the calendarPublished 1 September 2009

A fortnight of walks, mountain bike rides, horse rides, talks and films across the hills east of the city is the one entry in this diary that is not about a venue at all — the venue is the moorland.

Festivals of this shape are run by the landscape authorities rather than by a sport, which is why the listing reads as a programme rather than a fixture. The rest of the outdoor entries are in Events.
