Get WalkingSwindon Travel Choices have put together a packed programme for the Walking Festival in Swindon!It's probably not what you'd first think of when asked to name a type of exercise, but walking really is one of the easiest ways to keep fit!
Swindon Travel Choices know all about the benefits of walking for health, and they're highlighting them with their Swindon Walking Festival Month throughout May this year.
They've put together a packed and varied programme to bring together events in Swindon that are happening as part of the Ramblers Get Walking Week, National Walk to Work Week and National Walk to School Week.
Walking Festival in Swindon

Free pedometer!
Free pedometers are available for everyone who takes part in any of the events during festival month. Simply turn up and claim your
pedometer from the walk leader.
Walking for all ages & abilities
Gentle Walking Group
Every Monday during May
Haydon Leisure Centre, 2pm
Perfect if you're a little unsteady on your feet, these are free, safe and suitable for people who can only walk a very short distance or for wheelchair users.
Poetry in motion
Walk To School Week
Monday 20 - 24 May
As part of the Walk To School Week Swindon Borough Council invite you to take part in their Poetry in Motion competition!
To enter, children need to write a poem about their walk to school. Write about walking on as many days as you like, so the more days you walk, the more things there will be to write about!
Walking Lunch?
If your workplace offers a lunchtime walk then get away from that desk, get out there with Swindon Travel Choices and enjoy a walking lunch!
