Walking isn’t just about getting from A to B – it’s a chance to improve your health in so many ways, embrace nature and explore your community, or connect with others.

And it’s free! Sometimes overlooked as a form of exercise, you don’t have to walk for hours. A brisk ten-minute daily walk can also do the job.

You could:

• Walk to your local shops instead.
• Walk to school or work, even if only part of the way.
• Use the stairs instead of the lift.
• Get off the bus one stop earlier and walk the rest.
• Enjoy the lighter evenings with a stroll.
• Take a lunchtime meander.
• Try a walking meeting.
• Go on a weekend adventure with loved ones.

To celebrate this year’s national campaign, on the right of this page you’ll find a range of resources, links and advice which you can read on here or download as PDFs or JPEGs:

• Parish council maps across the Royal Borough showing public rights of way and suggested walking routes.
• Other local maps, routes and resources.
• Local walking groups with NHS Frimley/ Royal Borough Innovation Funding.

You can also share your favourite ‘walking adventures’ – routes and photos – on this page. We’d love to hear from you. Simply scroll down and add them to the section below.

‘Every journey begins with a single step,’ is a well known Chinese proverb. The same can also be said for the start of every adventure.
