Walking with Confidence

Your walks - your way . . .

This survey is for people who "walk for leisure" (rather than for travel).

We want to find out how the sector (from local walking groups to national organisations) can best support new walkers with the right information, at the right level.

The aim is to build confidence and competence, in all those who wish to plan and enjoy walks in the countryside and the great outdoors. From fields and farmland; coastal paths and forest; to your first steps on open countryside.

Participation in the survey is entirely voluntary; and you can withdraw at any time before you press submit (at the end). All responses are anonymous, so you cannot be identified, nor contacted.
