The sun decided to put in an appearance for much of the country at some point over the weekend so there was plenty of opportunity for people to get out and about and get active!   With those who walk and cycle regularly at much lower risk of illnesses such as diabetes, heart disease and stroke, as well as the mental wellbeing benefits, prioritising active travel is an obvious choice.

This weekend we set you the task, as part of our Civic Active Challenge of sharing with us your favourite walking or cycling route. You could draw it, sketch it, map it out or if you were feeling really brave, and it’s good to see some of you were, you could even do some Strava artwork. Here are a few of the images we received from the young through to the older sharing with us their favourite places to walk and cycle to.

Thanks to everyone who has taken part in our Active Challenge over the last week.
