Why Walk?
Walking is a great way to get fit, save money and help the environment. It’s easy to include walking in your
daily journey to or from work and it’s free ~ no specialist equipment is needed, just comfortable footwear ~
and you’ll be surprised how pleasant it is. You can appreciate your surroundings much more on foot,
experience the changing seasons, or notice local features that you hadn’t spotted before, whilst helping to
keep your heart healthy.
