The Bus Station is the gateway into and out of town... And it’s the meeting point for live walks at 4WCoP on the weekend of 4-6th September 2020...
We have all missed walking with friends during lockdown. 4WCoP gives us the opportunity to join live walks and share the experience with others. Many walks have themes or formats that specifically aim to help people connect.
