App issues walking challenge for 2012

Published: 09 January 2012

If you've started 2012 with the intention of walking more, then a new Ramblers app could be just what you need to get motivated on your caravan holidays in Wales.

The Big Welsh Walking Challenge app can be directly downloaded to a mobile phone and is available for free as of 27 January.

There is an opportunity for walkers to try out gentle strolls, before working their way up to more rigorous hikes over a 12-week period.

A number of goals are set out that participants are challenged to meet, as well as graphs to monitor progress and tips on how to get the most out of walking.

"Wales is a great country for walking and we hope that this new app will help even more people to discover why walking is such a good tonic for mind, body and soul," said Angela Charlton, director of Ramblers Cymru.

She added that the app should help people stick to their New Year's resolutions during the months ahead.
