Get Walking in Northamptonshire
A week of FREE organised walks across the County from Sunday 7th-14th September - 8 walks in 8 days!
Following the success of last years event which saw over 300 people accross the County raising over £1,5000 for the British Heart Foundation, the Countywide Health Walk Group have decided to do it again to encourage more people to become more active taking up walking for both health and pleasure.
The week is so special as every walk is free and guided by qualified walk leaders taking place in parks, countryside and around reservoirs giving you a chance to see lots more of Northamptonshire.
You can either get sponsorship for the walk or donate a small donation to the British Heart Foundation http://www.bhf.org.uk/
