Take to your feet this May
The Great British Walking Challenge kicks off today as part of national charity Living Streets’ National Walking Month.
We’re urging people across the country to take to their feet and see how many times we can collectively walk between Land’s End and John O’Groats.
Every community has its own unique walking landmarks and the challenge is a great way to encourage people within your area to explore local landmarks and discover new businesses in their community. We have created a special online tool which will log every walk taken (it can add up minutes spent walking, miles covered or steps taken – and even calculate the carbon dioxide saved).
We would really appreciate it if you could help support the Great British Walking Challenge by blogging and tweeting about the campaign.
You kind find the key information needed for writing about the campaign on the press release.
If this isn’t the kind of thing you would cover on your blog any help whether via Facebook posts of Tweets would be massively appreciated. Below are a number of ways people can get involved in the challenge this year.
How you can support the Great British Walking Challenge

#mumswalk pinterest challenge- To celebrate the Great British Walking Challenge, we're challenging Mums across the country to create #mumswalk Pinterest boards. Taking part is easy just create your own board and pin images from your walks throughout May using the #mumswalk hashtag. We will be selecting our favourites for a real life walking photography exhibition we are planning for June. Create your board today. http://bit.ly/IRw6DP
Walk to Work Week - taking place 14-18 May, we want to see thousands of employees across the UK walk to, from and during work. You can sign up your workplace for free and then from the 14 May you and your colleagues can log miles and count the carbon dioxide savings. http://bit.ly/II64n7
Blog, Tweet, Post, Pin - We want to make social media an integral part of the challenge. And we’d love you to share your walking images and sounds via our website and your social media channels, remembering to use the hashtag #gbwalk. Any help you can give with spreading the word would be amazing. Follow @livingstreets on Twitter
