We launched our flagship campaign nearly 12 months ago, and since then hundreds of you have kindly joined in by donating, fundraising, or sharing your stories using hashtag #EveryMileMatters. On World Health Day, here’s a look back at what we’ve achieved together so far for the health and wellbeing of the Trail’s communities.
“I went out on my own and found that the solitude made me feel calmer inside and more able to cope with other things in my life.”
Current lockdown restrictions mean we’ve had to pause our Connecting Actively to Nature (CAN) projects, but this has given us time to reflect on how important they have been to people’s mental health and the impact we’d like to make with them in the future.
We all know that walking next to the sea on the South West Coast Path (SWCP) makes us feel good, but as part of National Marine Week we wanted to find out why. Lynne Wyness, Academic and Life Coach tells us a bit more about the science behind it.
During lockdown we surveyed over 1,000 people to find out what the Coast Path means to them and the results have been quite staggering.
In February, we’re launching our newest Couch to Coast project and this time, we’re going to be Nordic Walking in North Devon. The aim of this project is to help people aged 55 and over, get more active and meet likeminded people in their community.
Not sure what Nordic Walking is? Fear not! We caught up with Gill Stewart, Director of Nordic Walking UK to find out more about this increasingly popular form of exercise.
