The day will have 3 different elements, including: sessions on different elements of practical path work, sharing ideas for running and overcoming issues as well as a field visit to see collaborative working between a Local Authority and the local Ramblers. The sessions will be run by members of the Ramblers who are actively involved in this type of work and have a wealth of experience in working with local authorities to carry out practical path work. The day will be held in Northamptonshire and all expenses will be covered by Central Office.
