The Ramblers is challenging the country to take to its feet for this year's national Get Walking Day (14-15 May), supported by Cotswold Outdoor, the Ramblers recommended retailer.

Join us on one of hundreds of FREE, short, welcoming walks taking place across the country and discover just how good fresh air, freedom and physical activity can make you feel. From family-friendly trails to river rambles and seaside strolls, it doesn't matter your age, stage or walking ability – there's sure to be a walk that's right for you.

The Ramblers annual Get Walking Day aims to help everyone to discover the wonder of walking. Walking for just half an hour, 5 times a week can make a real difference to your health and happiness; helping to control weight, improve fitness and even elevate your mood! With friendly company and scenic surroundings, you won't even realise how many steps you taken to a healthier lifestyle.

Over 4000 people took to their feet in 2010 and this year's Get Walking Day is set to be bigger than ever. Spreading across an entire weekend (14th-15th May) to give you double the fun, we're determined to tempt even more people to get outside and get walking.

Julia Bradbury, TV Presenter and Ramblers President, is supporting the day in a bid to get the nation to its feet. She said:

"Walking is a perfect way to exercise, relax the mind, and replenish the soul.

"With free led walks taking place across the country, from family friendly ambles to strolls by the sea, there's never been a better time to get out in the fresh air, make new friends and take those first steps to a new you.

"So put on your walking shoes, get on your feet and join us this Get Walking Day and help kick start a lifelong love of walking."
