Ruth Wembridge, head of membership recruitment at the RA, said: “What better way to walk off the Christmas pud and get fit in the New Year than to join the Ramblers’ Association? One of the worst aspects of Christmas is piling on the pounds. Here’s a way of losing the extra weight that won’t see you shedding the pounds from your wallet too. At just £24, it makes an ideal present for family and friends, but then again, why not treat yourself?”
