A GROWING number of townsfolk are enjoying the great outdoors and improving their health thanks to a successful walking scheme.

Bromsgrove Walks for Health was launched last month and is supported by the district council has had very positive feedback. And now the organisers are promoting its February walks.

The first walk of the month begins at Sanders Park on next Monday (February 10), and is between half a mile and a mile in length. And there are many other walks throughout the month, varying in length and location.

Walks organiser, Steve Barlow said: "The numbers have been growing each walk we do and we even have a couple in their 80's who take part.

"The Sanders Park walks seem to be particularly popular as we have teas, coffees and biscuits afterwards!"
