Lunchtime campus walk on 17 November

10 Nov 2010

Enjoy an urban walking experience from University Place

Get Walking Keep Walking is an urban walking project developed by The Ramblers to increase regular independent walking by people in Manchester. The aim of the project is to change people's behavior and to get them walking more as part of their everyday lives, in order to improve their physical and mental well-being.

On 17 November, the Ramblers will be running a half-hour lunchtime campus walk from 12.30-1pm meeting outside University Place.

There's nothing like a good, brisk walk to help you feel rejuvenated in both body and mind, so join us for a 30 minute walk around the campus and local area, find out more about Get Walking and the benefits of walking, and get a free pedometer/walking pack.

The walk forms part of the University’s 2010 sustainability event, Focus on Travel, which will take place in University Place from 10am to 2pm on the same day.
