Love the cold crunch with Ramblers’ snowy strolling guide
Soft snow crunching underfoot, flakes on your face, everyday places transformed by a beautiful blanket of white; walking is the most perfect way to enjoy Britain’s current cold spell. With more snow forecast nationwide this weekend, the Ramblers have launched an online snow strolling guide to help you find your inner walking child, www.ramblers.org.uk/snowystrolls .
The online guide from Britain’s biggest walking charity gives safety tips, walking advice, and suggestions for how to get the most out of your snowy strolling.
Des de Moor, Ramblers Senior Promoting Walking Officer, comments: “Whether you’re a toddler or young at heart, a city stroller or seasoned hiker, a snowy stroll through a white coated wonderland is a magical experience which transforms everyone into a child again!
“Mood-lifting natural daylight and the challenging crunchiness of snow underfoot make snowy strolling a brilliant tonic for seasonal sluggishness and the winter blues.
“In these days where snow is all-too-rare, the Ramblers’ online guide to snowy strolling will help you make the most of the precious snowy weekend ahead.”
