Aside from the prize on offer and the kudos from getting in all those steps, walking is brilliant for boosting wellbeing, improving cardiovascular fitness, building stamina, burning excess calories and improving mental alertness.
To help you achieve your walking goal, what not come along to parkwalk on a Saturday morning? Meeting behind the Conti Mess at 0845 for 0900 every week, come and walk the 5k course, make some new friends, boost your steps count and connect with a supportive and friendly community.

Yorkshire Trench and Dug Out, a little piece of authentic war history
If you are a fan of history, then don’t miss this little gem. The Yorkshire Trench and Dug Out are right there on an industrial estate just north of Ypres. Dating back to 1917, this preserved dug out and trench was accidentally discovered by a farmer in the early 1990’s.
This is the perfect opportunity to visit an authentic World War One trench and see the footprint of the 1915 shallow trench and shelter at the site. It’s a fabulous way to visualise how these trenches fit into a larger trench system and what life may have been like in the trenches.
As this is located on an Industrial Estate there are no parking or entry charges to visit the site. It’s a definite must see for those visiting the area.
