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.
If you see Phil Packer walking around the Island today, give him a friendly wave or hoot of the car horn as he raises money and awareness for the British Inspiration Trust.
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.
