Here’s their story:

Mud Huggers is a name that really appealed to us when we started our business, as it defines just about everyone that goes walking or camping, because from our experience they are the sort of people that make the most of every situation and can find fun if it’s raining or cold as well as on the sunny days. It also goes back to a time when I was doing some volunteer conservation work on the Yorkshire moors. We had the truly horrendous job of clearing a very muddy path, and adding drainage to make it passable. The first half hour was miserable as we tried carefully to avoid getting muddy, but before long things got out of hand and a large mud fight ensued. We were very soon so muddy that we didn’t care anymore and the job got finished quickly and was great fun for all even though we were truly covered in mud from head to toe.

So basically our customers are anyone that loves to be outdoors and having fun in all conditions. Customer service is really important to us, and in setting up the business we are very conscious that every order is important to our customer, whether for a weekend away, a holiday or a special gift, and we want to ensure we keep them informed every step of the way and help them by getting there order to where they want when they want it.   We aim to keep stock of every product that we have on the site, which is difficult for a new business, but we feel it is important that we don’t let anyone down or delay an order when our customer may have a deadline.

It has been a learning curve for us and we have come to realise that people don’t want to spend a lot of money with a company they haven’t heard of before, so they tend to buy smaller products, looking for quality and value. This has lead us to concentrate more on selling socks, and gaiters, travel trousers and daysacks, rather than jackets, tents and sleeping bags etc.   We are a family run business, with even on occasions the kids helping us when we are really busy.

Unfortunately for us the kids are much more into Football and Rugby than a weekend camping in Wales, but we are working on that. We are lucky in that the Peak District is on our doorstep so this is by far our favourite walking area, and a day out on Kinder Scout or the Roaches is an excellent way of clearing out the weeks cobwebs.   Our aims for the future are to develop our product range much further and eventually to have Mud Huggers shops and perhaps a range of our own products.   Mud Huggers is really an attitude life, and we are sure there are plenty of Mud Huggers out there who haven’t discovered us yet.

Walks And Walking – Dorset Walks – The Swanage and Purbeck Walking Festival

Walks And Walking – Dorset Walks – The Swanage and Purbeck Walking Festival

I have yet to venture down to Dorset for any walks just yet but I have been to Corfe Castle on many occasions when my brother was a chef at one of the hotels in the village many years ago. I remember visiting Swanage and Bournemouth whenever I was down from London for the weekend… very fond memories.

I was recently contacted about an event happening starting in April this year, The Swanage and Purbeck Walking Festival. This is the third walking festival they have held and this year it runs from 28th April until 6th May and I’m already in negotiations with my wife to see if I can make it down and experience the Dorset end of the South West Coast Path and the hugely popular Jurassic Roller Coaster walking routes.

The walking festival has something for everyone and is suitable for walkers of any age and walking ability. Its popularity is due to the breathtaking scenery of the Dorset coastline, the opportunity to visit the picturesque Isle of Purbeck and the chance to roam along the beautiful Jurassic Coast over unspoiled heathland, through nature reserves and idyllic Dorset villages.

The area is blessed with an abundance of wildlife, and those taking part can expect to see some of the UK’s rarest species such as the Sikka Deer for example, as well as magnificent and iconic landmarks such as Corfe Castle and Old Harry Rocks. There is plenty of other activities for all of the family with a variety of experiences available from discounted trips on the Swanage Steam Railway, pub lunches or just sitting in a flower-filled meadow looking out to sea but fore the hardy walker the real sights along the walking routes are the outstanding views from Gadd Cliff Wobarrow and Portland.

The walking festival is set to be as diverse as possible this coming year so you have plenty of options for whatever walking route you may choose to do. You can take a leisurely stroll for a mile and a half walk around Swanage, discovering the fascinating history of this beautiful Victorian seaside town or for the more active take the day out, with sixteen miles along the South West Coast Path on the infamous Jurassic Roller Coaster. Hopefully if I make it down I’m going straight for the South West Coastal Path and the Jurassic Roller Coaster whilst also making sure I get some great photographs of Chapmans Pool and Emmets Hill.

Main Sponsor Oswald Bailey, the outdoor clothing and camping retailer, is once again supporting the festival and says:

“We are delighted to be involved with this popular event in the walking calendar once again, as a Dorset based family firm with 19 shops around the UK, the event totally encompasses the ethos of our brand. We want to encourage people to get outdoors to appreciate what our natural landscape has to offer and this event is the perfect way to do that.”

Festival organiser Andy Pedrick, commented:

“The festival is now well and truly established and it has proved tremendously popular, it’s a great way for everyone to explore the Purbeck’s, and learn about how special the area is. Next years programme will include events of special interest, such as photography, art and food, and family activities etc. It’s going to be fantastic.”
