THOUSANDS PREPARING TO WALK THE WIGHT

The organisers of this year’s Walk the Wight say they have already had an unprecedented amount of entries.

Four thousand walkers already have already registered, compared to 1500 at the same point in 2007.  They’re thanking the introduction on a new flat walk and schools programme. Registration ends on 29 April.
