Why walk?

• a great way of meeting new people - most walks
  finish in the pub for a drink and a natter
• a chance to get outside in your local green
  spaces and countryside helping to combat
  stress, depression and anxiety
• brisk walking helps reduce the risk of diabetes,
  Alzheimer's, bowel cancer and can help prevent
  osteoporosis, high blood pressure, stroke and
  coronary heart disease
