Simon Barnett, director of walking sevelopment at the Ramblers, says: “We’ve seen first-hand what a positive impact regular walking can have on people’s lives, so we are keen to open up opportunities to everyone so they can benefit, too.”
Hayley Burgoyne, scheme co-ordinator for Richmond Health Walks, says: “Walking is such a wonderful way to get to know your local area and make new friends that it hardly even feels like exercise. You don’t have to be fit to start and everyone is welcome.”
