New in the official mag – mini-challenge mania & The walk of your life!

Walk your way to peace, wisdom and wellness this year – not to mention health, happiness and cake! – with the inspirational new issue of the best-selling outdoors magazine. (On sale from 27 Feb)

Walking is a universal balm – which for centuries has been recognised for its power to soothe, restore and lift you to new vantage points offering powerful new perspectives on life. The new issue of Country Walking connects modern-day walking with the urge to make pilgrimage – to places of personal or spiritual significance – which seems always to have been a feature of human existence, and which today is enjoying a resurgence. And whether it’s a journey of a day, a week or a thousand miles, this edition is packed with inspiration to get you moving on your journey toward wellness and wonderful memories. And if you’re thinking ‘That’s fine for some, but I’ll still be the same old me’, consider spring or the alphabet. One constrained to a meagre 26 letters, the other to the same endlessly recycled matter it’s used for millions of years – yet both nevertheless capable of infinite renewal, novelty and wonder. Onward, pilgrim!
