CWF 2026 - Booking opens soon

The Walking Festival programme is nearing completion and booking opens at 08:00 hrs on Monday 1st December.  (It is not possible to book before then) There are new walks, variations on familiar themes and some old favourites too.  Mark your diary to book your places early, as the most popular walks fill up quickly.

We have over 80 guided walks at all levels of length and challenge, plus the TM5 Challenge on Table Mountain, which is now an established favourite.  There are 10 new walks, 14 linear walks, night walks, dog friendly walks, family walks, variations on familiar themes and some old favourites, plus a fine programme of evening events and two competitions, so there’s something to suit you, whatever your preference.

Most walks have 20 places; some have lower limits to suit the level of challenge.  Our linear walks have 14 places as they require bus transport – we add the cost to the walk price, but these walks add a different dimension to the programme. The website will help you narrow down choices and pick your walks and events easily.  It also allows us to respond as necessary to changing circumstances.  We have the usual Photo Competition and the Sole Survivor Distance Challenge for the person walking furthest on Festival walks over the 9 days.

The Walk Grading Guide retains the Boot grades 1-4: it has more detail to help you make informed choices. please read the Guide carefully, also the Terms and Conditions and Payment sections.

Welcome to CWF 2026.  Happy browsing until 1st December and we look forward to seeing you in March.

Best wishes,

Andy, Bill, Caroline, Jane, Margaret, Rick & Tony
