A SECOND guide to walks around Richmond has been published by volunteers after the first was a runaway success. Two years ago, the volunteer-run Richmond Information Centre published Richmond Walks, a guide to four popular outings from the town. Thousands of copies have been sold to residents and visitors, and a third printing is in hand. Since RIC moved into new premises in Richmond’s Market Hall, most visitors leave clutching a copy. Dozens of local walkers pitched in for a follow-up, many of them members of Richmondshire Ramblers or Swaledale Outdoor Club. When one contributor, Pam Heseltine, described “pootling round the local bridleways with friends”, the title came in a flash of revelation. The result was the new book, Pootling Round Richmond and Swaledale.
