Recent Footprints Events
From Cape Wrath, the most north-westerly point on the British mainland to Lands End via the Peak District, Lake District, Pennines and the North and South Downs. From the Black Cullin of the Isle of Skye to the Blackgang Chine dinosaurs on the Isle of White, Footprints has been there, walked (and climbed) there and, sometimes, even got the T shirt! We even venture abroad with Ireland (North and South), Northern France, Germany and Switzerland all visited in recent years.
