SUMMARY:let's go for a wander
DESCRIPTION:To mark the beginning of this year’s Wild Goose Festival: Journey with the Wild Geese Movement Challenge\, we’re starting with something very simple. \n\n\n\nA wander.  \n\n\n\nWe’d love to invite anyone and everyone to join us for a relaxed wander through town – a chance to stretch your legs\, meet a few new people\, and take a moment out of your day. \n\n\n\nNo pressure.No agenda. \n\n\n\nJust people going for a walk together. \n\n\n\nWe’ll meet at Fountain Square outside The Stove Café\, before heading on an easy route through Dock Park\, down towards the Kirkpatrick Macmillan Bridge\, across to the Suspension Bridge\, and back to Fountain Square. \n\n\n\nYou can join for the whole journey\, or just part of it. Walk\, wheel\, wander – go at your own pace. \n\n\n\nAnd to sweeten the journey\, we’ll have some ice creams waiting.  \n\n\n\nEveryone is welcome – friends\, families\, colleagues\, neighbours\, and anyone who simply fancies getting out for a walk. \n\n\n\nAccessibility Information: \n\n\n\nThe meeting point at Fountain Square outside The Stove Café is on level ground with step-free access.
The full walking route is step-free and suitable for wheelchair users and mobility aids.
Paths through Dock Park are wide\, surfaced park paths.
The route across Kirkpatrick Macmillan Bridge and the Suspension Bridge uses level pedestrian walkways.
There are no steps\, stiles\, or barriers along the planned route.
Participants are welcome to walk\, wheel\, or join for part of the route at their own pace.
The walk is informal and flexible\, so people can turn back or rest whenever they wish.
Accessible toilets are available at The Stove Café before and after the walk.
