Members of the Online Community have shared how helpful getting outside and walking has been for their mental health and wellbeing, even if it’s only a few steps around the garden or a few quiet moments in nature.
This thread is a space for anyone in the Online Community to share those moments. You’re welcome to:
There’s no pressure, targets, or competition. The idea is simply to encourage one another, share the small moments that help, and enjoy some of the wellbeing benefits that can come from fresh air, movement, and time spent outdoors.
Hi Leelaloo
He's called Patch! He is a rescue from a local charity and was almost 9 when he came to us. He was 12 last week and is still a very robust dog. We walk 5 or 6 miles every day and sometimes more.

Hello Lee (Leelaloo)
That's amazing - some people are brilliant with that sort of thing.
Mind you there are a coupe of cats there I wouldn't like to meet on a dark night!! .

I do love how many canals there are in Birmingham, KrisPy
It has been great seeing how people have been getting out and about recently, or even using YouTube to get a dose of the outdoors while indoors.
I thought it would be good to let everyone know that we have recently started a Summer Sports Chat if anyone wanted to take part in some discussions around the big sporting events taking place this summer.
