Tell Us About A Great Walk You Have Done Recently  -  An exciting, a beautiful, a special event?  A YRE, a traditional event?  Jot down and post a comment concerning it for us.  Feel free to point out what was unusual and good about an event, but don't be afraid to tell us what disturbed you.  Perhaps you have some recommendations that could help improve a YRE.  Your ideas could result in preventing the "failure" and cancellation of that event.   If you choose to post a comment, please recognize that it is subject to being edited for form or content.
