socialising

In today's episode I'm joined by Northamptonshire's very own walking wizard Dave Askew.  Dave is the founder of Northamptonshire Walks, the go-to group for walking enthusiasts and newbies, with over 34,000 followers, and lots of engaging walking routes for all interests

Dave's not a fan of counting steps, he's into walking for the exploration and discovery aspect, not numbers on a FitBit!

In today's conversation, Dave and I explore the question of 'How to enjoy the art of walking'.  We go beyond walking as a form of transport, and even as a form of exercise, as I want to get to the heart of uncovering the 'magic' of walking

We discuss 3 key areas of today's question:

1. What is so special about walking?:
History - travelling back in time
Nature
Mindfulness
Curiosity
Adventure
Lifting our mood
Planning
Reflecting

2. Solo vs group walking:
Building connections
Banter
Safety in numbers

3. How to build the habit:
Start small
What you do and don't need
Overcoming obstacles to walking (not literally)

Meditation isn't just for winding down - it's also great for nerves and social anxiety. So take a break while you're doing your makeup; listen in an Uber; or try this in the shower. A few moments of calm, could make it a night to remember.
