Hello Toggers!
Beating the January Blues
Of all the months in the year – January always seems the longest right? If you’re feeling the strain there’s one simple thing you can do which will help – get outside. Research from the Finnish Forest Research Institute suggests that spending just 20 minutes a day in a natural environment can help reduce your blood pressure and raise your overall feeling of wellbeing.
The Magnificent Malverns!
This week we’re headed to the Malvern Hills for our walk. Voted as one of the nation’s favourite walks, this is a circular walk that takes in the Worcestershire Beacon – the highest point of these hills that run along the border of England and Wales. At just over 5 miles, this walk has some steep ascents and descents.
Make sure you check the weather forecast before going on any walk this winter – and ensure you have the right gear for the conditions you are likely to encounter.
Four Things For You
If you haven’t got outside for your 20 minutes – now is your chance. Go and Walk Yourself Happy!
