This April, the Wild Goose Festival and Dumfries and Galloway move together; alongside 40,000 barnacle geese taking off on their extraordinary journey. Collectively, an 80,000,000 mile effort from the Solway, in south-west Scotland, to Svalbard, north of the Arctic Circle. Moving in tandem, side by side, mile by mile, we’ll strive to walk, wheel, scoot and cycle the distance – travelling through nature and into spring.
