Walking is a simple, free way of getting more physical activity and is ideal for people of all ages and fitness levels.
May is National Walking Month so we’d love to see everyone challenge themselves to explore their local area and ‘walk every day in May’.
We’re organising lots of activities throughout the month to give some encouragement and set you on your way.
Tell us about your walking experiences during the month and submit photos of your travels and you could be in with the chance of winning shopping vouchers throughout the month.
Email the team with your progress or share on our Facebook and Twitter pages, using #NSWalkThisMay.
Once the month is over, there will be another opportunity to win some shopping vouchers by completing a short survey.
Several cafes are getting behind National Walking Month and will be sharing copies of nearby walks to encourage customers to explore new routes. Some will also offer discounts to walkers.
If you prefer company on your travels, lots of walking groups take place throughout North Somerset and they would welcome new walkers.
Tips and advice on walking will also be posted throughout the month on our social media channels, from walking with children to trying out a new walking app.
For more inspiration, find walks we’ve published in Life magazine on our website.
