Well done to everyone who took part in this year's alternative Walk the Wight, you helped raised over £200,000 for Mountbatten

Harry Redknapp says “Walk for Hope is normally the biggest fundraiser so it would be fantastic to see as many people as possible out walking in their local areas. Let’s raise as much money as we can for people who really need it”

Walk the Wight is one of the biggest fundraisers for Mountbatten, so simply cancelling it is not an option. Read on for details of the unique approach to the coronavirus restrictions

The popular Isle of Wight Walking Festival returns to the Island in 2017 as IsleWalk17 - rescued by Visit Isle of Wight with the help of the ferry companies, there will be walks of all sorts to enjoy over two weeks.

Congratulations to all those who took part in the annual Beaches, Bars and Blisters around the Island walk over the weekend.

Have you say on the Isle of Wight being included in the Coastal Access Scheme. Isle of Wight Ramblers are very keen for Islanders to have their say in the consultation.

On the walk, issues discussed included progress on coastal access, importance of volunteers in the big society, health benefits of walking, financial benefits of walking and sustainable transport.

Best of luck to Gennive and Nick on this coming Sunday as they attempt the 50km Thames Path challenge.

Referring to the Coastal Access Scheme, the regional director of the CLA says, "there is better use of public money than spending it replicating something we already have."

The Island will stand alone among the 22 coastal counties of English, excluding us all from the tremendous financial uplift that the Coastal Access Scheme is predicted to bring. Why?

The new Isle of Wight ramblers leaflet will encourage walkers to leave their cars at home and use buses instead.
