Spot anything different about the latest issue of Walk? ♻️ We’ve switched to a paper envelope instead of a film wrapper, so there's less was and easier recycling 🌳 Have you had a read yet?
The image shows a magazine titled "Walk," featuring four smiling people dressed in outdoor attire. The headline reads "Trek mates: Spreading the joys and benefits of Ramblers group walks." The magazine is placed on a paper envelope with the "Ramblers" logo and the word "walk." The background is a wooden surface.

Quote over an autumnal countryside background reads: “Elizabeth continued her walk alone, 
crossing field after field at a quick pace, jumping over stiles and springing over puddles with impatient activity, and finding herself at last within view of the house, with weary ankles, dirty stockings, and a face glowing with the warmth of exercise

But despite its promises, this Labour administration has not yet taken any meaningful action. Everyone deserves a place to walk. It shouldn’t be a “nice-to-have”. It has a huge impact on our health, wellbeing and daily lives.
