What we’re about
An evening walk is an excellent way to improve your emotional well-being by reducing stress and anxiety, boosting your mood, and improving sleep. The rhythmic movement, fresh air, and connection with nature release mood-lifting endorphins and improve blood flow, while also providing a peaceful time to clear your mind, process your day, and foster a sense of calm and balance. Even short, 10-minute walks can offer these benefits.

Experience sensory delights
There are some experiences you only discover if you’re there at the right place, and right time. Golden hour, the last hour of light before sunset, is well-known for making even the most ordinary streets glow. There’s something unique about an evening stroll, whether you snap a stunning sunset, smell the banks of spring flowers and see the twinkle of stars as they emerge one by one.
Move your body
It’s far too easy to spend the working day sitting at our desks, and then watch TV or scroll on our phones all evening. And we all know that being sedentary for long periods isn’t good for our mental or physical health.
The good news is that research has found that walking before your bedtime aids good quality sleep. A regular evening walk helps reduce stress and anxiety, which are commonly associated with sleep issues, such as insomnia.
You're also relaxing your muscles and improving blood flow, which makes it easier for your body to slip into a restful state. These benefits can last up to six hours after you finish walking!
So please join us and lets get mentally and physically fit together
