Why walk?

Walking is simple, free and you don't need any special equipment. It improves community health by getting people active in their neighbourhood and every trip walked reduces air pollution.
It's also fantastic for your helth as it can help to prevent heart disease, stroke, type II diabetes, high blood pressure, osteoporosis and can help with weight management amongst other things!
Walking also seems to help a great deal with mental health, just getting outside in the fresh air and meeting like-minded people usually helps to make everyone feel much better within themselves.
