It's been a great start to the year for our Travel Actively Carlisle team.  They supported RED (Rise Every Day) January - a nationwide initiative that invites and encourages people of all ages, backgrounds and physical abilities to be more active by setting realistic movement goals for everyday in January.

A series of activities and events took place across the month some of which are described below.

Guided Walks

They led 5 guided walks throughout Carlisle. The walks provided people an opportunity to engage in a free, relaxed walk within their local communities as well as an opportunity to socialise with a coffee and cake afterwards. The walks were well-attended and received great feedback, with attendees grateful for the opportunity to take part in a new activity with like-minded people.

The walks were so successful that they are now running fortnightly walks which are free and open to all. For more information contact travelactively@cumberland.go.uk or follow us on Travel Actively Facebook where a full schedule has now been published!

Walk Leader Training

More Ramblers Wellbeing Walk Leaders have been trained to add to the increasing number of volunteers leading guided walks. These people can now safely set up walks within their local communities providing further opportunities for people to be active through walking.
