Spotlight on Wolds Walking Festival
|
|
18
days of great walking in the beautiful Lincolnshire
Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and
surrounding countryside.
The
Lincolnshire Wolds is a nationally important and
cherished landscape, with rolling hills, deep-sided
valleys, picture postcard villages and friendly market
towns. The Festival offers over 50 walks - some
guided, some led - but each providing the perfect
opportunity to explore this enchanting countryside.
The
program has been put together to ensure there are
walks suitable for everyone, from short level routes
accessible for wheelchair users and pushchairs to
longer more challenging routes for the experienced
rambler. Most of the walks are free and all provide a
great opportunity to discover this area in the best
possible way - on foot!

Walking
Louth
and the Lincolnshire Wolds offer fantastic walking country -
from open hilltops to sheltered valleys with hidden villages.
There are footpaths, bridleways and quiet country lanes to
explore. Many footpaths criss-cross the countryside as they do
in most of Britain but to make life easy for the visitor
specially defined walks have been devised.

Manby
Motorplex
There's more Motorsport going on at
Manby Motorplex than you might imagine! Motorsport Clubs
and Organisations
use the venue regularly for their Motorsport events and it's
always worth checking our calendar
of events to find out what's going on - some of these
Motorpsort events are fantastic to watch for the whole family!
There are Rallys, 4x4 Off Road events, Quad Racing, Super Moto
and much more.
If you are intending to book a
driving activity at Manby Motorplex, check the calendar
of events first. Motorsport events take place most weekends,
and you could book a driving activity the day before or even
the same day as a scheduled Motorsport event. Then you can
come and watch the real thing before or after your own driving
activity.
Most events are free of charge to watch, so instead of driving
a long way to attend a driving experience or driving course,
you can make a full weekend of it, take a short break and
watch some great Motorsport action!

Rally
Driving at Manby
£150 for 1/2 day course
This course combines time in the
Rally car with time in the skid car set to simulate real Rally
conditions - with all drivers in the skid car this gives the
benefit of learning from others. Apart from practice runs
there will be two timed rally stages driven - one in the skid
car imitating a powerful rear wheel drive rally car
(spectators can ride in the rear with the chance to video from
the inside how their driver performs free of charge). The
final timed run is in the Peugeot. The timed stages take four
to six minutes depending on weather conditions and the skill
of the participant. You can also look forward to a high speed
chauffered ride with your instructor!
Availability; This activity is run on selected weekdays
and Saturdays throughout the year, with various start times
both morning and afternoon.
