Bring camping gear and food for an overnight camp at a quiet campsite in Silverdale – CAMPING FEE TO BE PAID ON SITE (£6 adult, Under 12s £4 and Under 2s free). NB ONE BOOKING is for ONE family-size TEN The Cycle Touring Festival will be in touch with advice on what to bring, and full details. Ride finishes by 2pm in time for films and cake at the Eddington. This is NOT a led ride - You'll need to be fully responsible for yourself, and bring everything you need, including bike repair kit. Some of your route will be on roads so you'll need to be aware of the risks of traffic, especially if cycling with children.

Elsie will recount first-hand experiences from her new book, which celebrates 90 inspirational car-free walks in England, Scotland and Wales. Brews and cakes will be on sale at the community café provided by the amazing team from Waste into Wellbeing for a donation. The small cost covers the hire of the venue and facilities, with all proceeds going to The Eddington Community Interest Company.

Participants will be given sketch books to take away plus pencils and other art materials to use on the day – the minimum donation of £5 will cover these costs and support the work of the amazing Future Fixers Community Interest Company (CIC).
