Fame at last!

I'm delighted to write that my blog has been picked up by the East Anglian Daily Times, so they are to feature some of my walks in the East Anglian starting from next week - which I'm rather chuffed about. If you've already read my blog you will see I'm rather passionate about walking and also encouraging others to get out there and start enjoying the simple pleasures that walking on a regular basis does bring.

I'm the CEO of a charity - Healthy Ambitions.  We have created the One Million Steps Challenge for teams of 5 to walk a million steps over 4 weeks. This sounds a lot, it is but is surprisingly easy; it might be that getting off the bus a stop early or walking to work or a meeting and it becomes habit forming - you end up walking more and more each day.

Walking to me is very important. It allows me to get exercise, look at buildings and heritage, look at the clouds, listen to the birds, watch butterflies, smell the flowers or listen to music.  It increases my awareness of the natural world around and not only exercises our bodies but our minds as well. I hope you'll enjoy reading about my walks around Suffolk either here on my blog or via the East Anglian Daily Times and that I inspire at least some of you to go out there and start walking!

Until my next walk (and blog!)

Regards

Richard
