As the first proper gales charge in from the Atlantic, the rivers dense woodlands begin to change colour and the summer madness comes to a restful end, we enter my favourite time of year in Cornwall: autumn.

A time that welcomes log fires, real ale, hearty suppers and wind-swept beaches; autumn is the perfect opportunity for long cliff top walks, woodland strolls and Sunday afternoon wanders

Welcome to the first ever Fal River Autumn Walking Festival, sponsored by The Nare.

Celebrating the beautiful diversity of walks around the Fal River, this unique two-week festival delivers a walk for everyone. From dramatic cliff top paths to sheltered woodland trails, we have over 40 walks that will entice you to don your walking shoes and explore some of the most breathtaking landscapes the county has to offer.

The festival would not be possible without the support of our generous sponsors, advertisers and funders. I would like to per-sonally express a massive thank you to all those who have been involved to help make this exciting event a reality, with particular gratitude to our main sponsor this year - The Nare.

I would also like to recognise the team behind the festival. A huge amount of work goes into making the event happen and so special thanks must go to Helen, Lisa and Kelly for organising sponsorship and advertising, Tommy for website management, Stephane for designing the fantastic programme, Paul from walkitcornwall for helping to orchestrate the Guided Walks and finally to the festival committee of Dave, Jon and Alex.

We would love to know about your walking experiences and would really enjoy seeing your pictures and comments, so please post them on Facebook: www.facebook.com/walkingfestival.

Enjoy the festival and happy walking!

The Nare is considered by many to be Cornwalls most comfortable hotel, with luxurious rooms, two restaurants, abundant seafood, warm indoor swimming pool, health spa, and beautiful sandy beach. It is the perfect location for an early Spring garden break to visit Cornwalls best gardens, some by private arrangement only. The Nare, Cornwalls highest rated hotel for over 20 years, is renowned for its stunning sea views and unobtrusive traditional service. Open all year.

FROM THE NARE HOTEL

Dear Walkers,

Cornwall has received much publicity for its many tourist at-tractions, Eden, Tate, Maritime Museum etc. However on this occasion we are celebrating a well established and distinctly more natural attraction, its coastline. Arguably Cornwalls unique selling point. Surely there is no better way to really ap-preciate its inherent invigorating beauty than by taking a good long walk!

The Helford, Fal and Roseland areas are blessed with some of the most stunning and unspoilt sections of coast and so it seemed a natural and obvious location to start a walking fes-tival. Likewise it is appropriate for The Nare Hotel, given its enviable coastal position, to sponsor and host the launch of the first Fal River Autumn Walking Festival.

I am delighted to join Toby Budd, the Fal River crew, and of course our spaniels, to launch the festival on Friday 21st Oc-tober since it is something I have been really keen to see es-tablished.

Many of the walks are being linked using ferries by way of The Carrick Roads, the highway of past times formed by the worlds third largest natural deep water harbour The Fal River. It is no surprise then that charming pubs and villages are joined by footpaths and byways that meander down to the river.

In the guests study at The Nare there hangs a map depicting the 1950s acquisition of land around Nare Head by The National Trust. The late Michael Trinick was the inspiration and driving

force who set about purchasing for The Trust sections of coastal land, where possible up to 2 fields in, all the way around the Cornish coast. What fore-sight, because much of the land we will be walking on during this festival is pro-tected and owned by The Trust today.

These walks would not have come to-gether without the help of Paul Simmons (walkitcornwall), technical advisor and source of much knowledge. If possible do join him on one of his guided walks for he is truly inspirational.

I really hope this festival will become the focal start of an activity which can be enjoyed by our many visitors and locals alike; not only during the fortnight festi-val but all year round. And, if it gets its boots on, could quite literally continue to be paced out around the whole of Corn-walls 258 mile coastline - the countys largest, free attraction!

n Some routes will take you onto the road. Make sure you face the oncoming traffic and are aware of your surroundings.

n A basic first aid kit should be in your pack for any walks which are likely to last all day.

n Be a green walker and look after your surroundings. Take any litter home with you, stick to paths, keep dogs under control and dont disturb livestock. With the Fal Mussel Card you can even leave the car at home.

n All of our walks take in stunning scenery. Why not take a camera with you and share your pics with us? E-mail them to [email protected] and well put them up on the Fal River Autumn Walking Festival website.

Walking in this part of Cornwall is one of lifes great joys. There is unrivalled variation in the walks on offer, from the tranquillity of woodland glades to the high drama of rug-ged cliff tops, however there are two things that remain constant through all the walks: preparation and safety.

Our top tips are designed to ensure you have the best possible walking experience and we recommend following them before you embark on any of the walks, particularly our self-guided ones.

n Dont leave home without a map. You can pick up a copy of our area map for just 3 which is best used hand in hand with an Ordnance Survey map.

n Wear suitable footwear and clothing. Make sure your shoes are sturdy and have a good grip. We like to wear layers when were walking then were never too hot or too cold. Waterproofs are a must if it looks like rain (check the forecast before you go) and so is a hat and sun cream if the sun is shining.

n Fuel up. Make sure you have plenty of water with you if youre taking on one of our longer walks. A hot thermos (tea, coffee or soup!) is always a treat on a cold day. High-energy snacks and a packed lunch should be an ever present in your day sack.

n If you are walking on your own make sure you tell some-one where you are going, what your route is and what time you expect to be finished. We recommend walking in groups where possible.
