The wonder of a wander by Alan Coxon

The multiplicity of benefits of going for a walk are now well documented. Walking is a form of exercise that is accessible to most, for free, and even a moderate amount of walking performed reasonably regularly has both immediate and long-lasting beneficial effects. However, it seems that there are dangers to be observed. The dangers
