The weather is getting better by the day (sort of!!) and summer is here. And we are so lucky in the LASER region to have so many walks planned. I tried to think why walking in the country is so good for you and found this quote from the Woodland Trust and it sums it up perfectly:

5 minutes walking in nature improves mood, self-esteem, and relaxation. Frequent exposure to nature reduces anxiety and depression, while promoting a sense of wellbeing and fulfillment. Physcial activity in a green space can reduce stress and lowers cortisol levels by 15%.

What a wonderful description that is..... and of course walking naked adds to the feeling twice over.

We have two walks coming up organised by Mike Ryan and here are the details.
