More Than Just a Walk
The first of these walks was held on Saturday May 22nd (starting from Newbridge-on-Wye) & was a hugely enjoyable event. It's a lovely way of meeting and talking with artists; their company enhanced the experience and the way they incorporated their work and insights with our journey was original and thought provoking.
We were all invited to contribute in gentle impermanent ways to the countryside we passed through and the walk was carefully structured to allow for all ages and levels of energy & fitness. There are two more opportunities to join in - May 30th starting from Llandrindod Wells & June 19th from Builth Wells - you can book at post(at)mocacymru.org.uk or go to mocacymru.org.uk. Do try it !
