“We advocate running once a day in line with government guidance - from your doorstep or included in a necessary journey.

“Our latest running kit essential is a piece of chalk (environmentally friendly, of course).

“We’ve written ‘#solosteamers messages’ for anyone else running our beautiful local trails!

“If you would like to write inspirational chalk messages go for it!”
