Walking all year round – spring

The great thing about the English climate is that you can enjoy walking at any time of year, whatever the weather. Here are a few ideas to get you out and about now that spring has arrived.

• Be prepared – even though we’re in British Summer Time, it can still be pretty chilly, so wear layers, or at least take extra layers with you
• And don’t  pack away the hat, scarf and gloves just yet
• Although splashing through puddles can be fun, take a brolley in case of April showers
• Re-discover your neighbourhood in all its re-newed floral glory – you’ll be surprised just how quickly the daffs and primroses  emerge from their winter sleep – guaranteed to put a smile on your face and a spring in your step!
• Have fun out walking with the kids during the Easter hols. It doesn’t have  to be a fully planned day out, but a stroll to a friend’s, the shops or the dentist via a park or playing field. It’s a great way for them to burn off some of those Easter eggs as well as spending time with their mum and dad!
• Most of all, enjoy it  - walking’s a great way to lift the spirits and blow away the cobwebs, especially if you’ve been hibernating all winter!
