It’s easy to think that enjoying the outdoors means heading off to the hills, finding a spectacular view or planning a long walk. But sometimes, there’s plenty to enjoy much closer to home.

Walking locally can feel completely different when you’re doing it with other people. You notice paths you’ve never taken, green spaces you’ve walked past without really seeing and little changes in the seasons that are easy to miss when you’re rushing from one place to another.

At WALX Harborough, our sessions are about making the most of that time outdoors. We walk together, chat along the way and use our WALX poles to involve more of the body in our walking. Depending on the session, we might also stop for some simple exercises to support mobility, strength and physical fitness.

But there’s another important part of our walks too: the people.

Getting outdoors with a friendly group gives you a reason to step away from everyday life for an hour, enjoy some fresh air and connect with others. You don’t have to travel miles or dedicate a whole day to an outdoor adventure. Sometimes an hour spent walking, talking and noticing what’s around you is enough to make local places feel a little different.

Our WALX Harborough sessions are welcoming, sociable and designed for different fitness levels.

So why not come and explore your local area with us? You might be surprised by what’s been on your doorstep all along.
