Walkers adopt Olympic spirit
A new Ramblers project, backed by the London Olympics, shows you don’t have to be a top athlete or sports fan to benefit from the sporting extravaganza. Get Walking for the Games – which has been awarded London 2012’s coveted ‘Inspire’ brand – will see a programme of Olympic-themed walks rolled out up and down the country. The project’s organiser, David Thompson, said: “The Olympics are a once in a lifetime opportunity to get everyone more active through everyday physical activity, such as walking.”
