Rejuvinate mind, body & soul with the LGF's LGBT walking group.

There's nothing like a good, brisk walk to help you feel rejuvinated in both body and mind. That's why from Wednesday May 20th Gay City Strollers is back to help walk your way to better health.

We welcome Gay City Strollers - the lesbian, gay and bisexual walking group - back after winning rave reviews from people who took part in the walking programme when it started in January '09.

Once again it is running partnership with the Ramblers Association. The short walks will take place around Manchester City Centre and will run every Wednesday from May 20th.

The walks will be led by professionals from the Ramblers Association and will start off from the Lesbian and Gay Foundation on Princess Street at 1.30pm.

Gay City Strollers is free and you can expect:
* A welcome to walking session with tips and advice
* A series of easy led walks and other activities
* Support from our local walking ambassadors
* 12 - week plan to walk your way to better health
* Information and advice to help you keep walking
* Free step counter

Gay City Strollers is brought to you by the Lesbian and Gay Foundation and is part of The Ramblers Association's Get Walking Keep Walking initiative - developed to promote regular independent walking. Manchester City Council, Manchester NHS, Getting Manchester Moving, and The Big Lottery Fund (Active Travel Consortium) are all involved in and support the project.

So if you fancy doing something different with your Wednesday's come along to Gay City Strollers, it's a great way to keep fit, meet new people, and build your confidence.
