Why walk?
 

Walking regularly will make you feel good, and is good for your health. For adults, 30 minutes of walking five days a week dramatically cuts the risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, obesity and some cancers. It also reduces cholesterol, lowers high blood pressure and is good for your sense of well-being.

Woolly Hat walk along the Camel Trail

Tuesday 1st December 2009

On a wet and windy December 1st over 40 woolly hat clad walkers took part in a winter woolly hat walk on the Camel Trail in Cornwall. The walk was organized by a partnership of local Health Trainers, the British Trust for Conservation Volunteers and the Mobilise! project.

The walk was designed to help clear away the winter blues and the many colourful hats on display certainly helped to achieve this!
