Walk off that Christmas bulge, says councillors

Talk about Ministry of the Bleeding Obvious.

I saw a piece in the Sussex Express recently where East Sussex County Council was 'urging residents to burn off the Christmas calories with a winter walk along public footpaths'.

Lead cabinet member for economy, transport and environment cllr Carl Maynard, was quoted as saying: 'Walking is one of the easiest ways to be physically active and can help you become fitter and lose weight.

'There are 3,500km of public footpaths, bridleways and byways in East Sussex and winter is a great time to go and explore the fantastic countryside on our doorstep.

'Being more physically active can make a real difference to your health.'

But I guess they did give a couple of good links for walks in the area:
