Britain’s paths are a national treasure; they show us the way, bring us closer to nature and can often be the start of great adventures. As part of the competition, when you submit a photo, you will be invited to tell the Ramblers why the path you’ve chosen is so special to you.
Is it a path you used to walk with your grandparents, the path that leads to the place you met your partner, or perhaps a path where you spend many happy walks with your four-legged companion? Isle of Portland A panel of expert judges, including award-winning adventurer Alastair Humphreys, and Head of Paths at The Ramblers, Jack Cornish, will choose eight finalists which will then be put to a public vote. The overall winner will have their photo displayed on a major billboard. Jack Cornish said: “Here at The Ramblers we are passionate about shining a light on the incredible network of paths, tracks and trails up and down Great Britain .
This fun and free to enter competition can be done on a walk from your doorstep, or while on holiday in Scotland, England or Wales, and there are almost 200,000 miles of mapped paths to choose from! It’s a great opportunity to get out and really celebrate the paths we rely on while enjoying the great outdoors this summer.” The Ramblers work across Britain to ensure paths are not overlooked and under loved. Thousands of volunteers, who are at the heart of their communities, work alongside local authorities to protect them for everyone to enjoy.
