It really is a great way to meet people, improve fitness and discover new places. A few times a year all the groups join together and so far, we’ve walked in Bradgate Park, Bosworth Country Park, Tur Langton, North Kilworth and Watermead, all followed by lunch at a local pub for those that fancy it. Combined walks are also planned for next year, starting with Market Harborough in January
