This Christmas may feel a bit different for a lot of us, with the cost of living crisis and other pressures. So, we thought we’d ask some of the people we have worked with over the past year to reflect on how walking can help bring peace of mind during what can be a busy and demanding time of year. 

We caught up with Dr Gemma Ryde, a researcher from the University of Glasgow, our artist-in-residence Alec Finlay, Shirley Gleeson, who delivered our expert lecture on connecting with nature, Kate Lesenger from Sustrans and Mandy Clement, who won our National Walking Month competition. 

We hope you enjoy this special festive episode and we’ll be back in the new year with more episodes of Voices of the Walk.
