Walk magazine winter 2023
Walk is the Ramblers’ quarterly magazine, with more readers than any other UK walking mag
Winter 2023
Whether it’s frosty, blustery or relentlessly rainy, the latest edition of walk invites you to ‘chill out’. Discover why venturing outdoors in the coldest, wettest months is so beneficial for physical and mental health, and learn how to stay safe with expert advice on winter walking safety.
Our gear reviewers bring you comfort and joy this season with their recommendations of walking footwear for every type of foot – wide, long, painful, chilly and more. Helpful if you’re looking for a gift for a keen walker (or wanting to drop some hints for yourself!)
We also discover how connecting with nature helped writer Louisa Adjoa Parker cope with ME and TV property developer Sarah Beeny through her treatment for breast cancer.
If you’re enjoying a winter’s trail, tell us about it on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter. Or share the moment in our ‘Whatever the weather’ photo competition.
Have a wonderful winter of walking!
