ANYONE interested in exploring the great outdoors is being reminded that there is still time to sign up to a Worcestershire walking course.

The Countryside With Confidence course, which is being organised by Worcestershire County Council, will be held in a countryside setting in and around Worcester Woods Country Park.

It will be run over the space of four Tuesday evenings in June and will cover subjects such as map reading, places to explore, way-marked trails, access to land and rights of way, rights and responsibilities, and the countryside code.

The first three sessions are between 7pm and 9pm on Tuesday, June 5, 12 and 19 at the Worcester Woods Country Park. The final session, on Tuesday, June 26, will take place at a countryside venue yet to be confirmed by the organisers.

Places on the course are free but must be booked in advance. For more information call the Worcestershire Hub on 01905 766493.
