‘Physically and mentally better’

Angie Barber wanted to get fitter after a long-term injury.

‘I joined because I was slowly recovering from severe Achilles tendinopathy and couldn’t do the long walks I used to. I hoped it would improve my fitness and help the stress. It’s been wonderful! Unlike other challenges where you train for the “big day”, this feels like training for a healthier life. I’m exceeding my expectations, and feel so much better. The added bonus is that I’ve discovered local “off the beaten track” pathways which are beautiful and away from all the tourist honeypots. Now I hope to keep walking into my 70s and beyond.’
