Helen Shapiro knew a thing or two about walking.
Today I joined Andy Binks from the Swindon Society as he led a group from the Swindon Health Walks on a guided tour of the Railway Village.
The Walking for Health initiative aims to improve your general well being; help reduce your risk of developing serious health conditions; lift your mood and introduce you to new people.
Andy and I had a great time and here are the photographs to prove it.
