Have you overindulged a bit over the Christmas period? Are you stuck for something to do when the relatives have left? Are you considering a New Year’s resolution to get fitter or exercise more?

If so, the Dorset Ramblers has the answer. They’re running a series of walks open to the public in the Christmas period right across Dorset, and you’re welcome to join. The walks vary in length and difficulty, so do make sure you pick one that’s suitable for your fitness level. They’re all circular walks, starting and finishing in the same place so you’ll always have somewhere to leave your car. Dorset Ramblers would love to see you at one of the following walks:
