A PROGRAMME of walks have been put together to encourage local people to put on their walking boots.

East Lindsey Active have been organised to help the community improve its health and fitness and is a project working in partnership with East Lindsey District Council, Natural England, Sustrans, Lincolnshire Sports Partnership and the Lincolnshire Primary Care Trust.

All the walks are led by a walk leader and there's not charge to take part.

Bernice Wilson, who runs the programme in partnership with Alex Woollen from Sustrans, said: "Not only can you get fit but you can also make new friends.

"We all know East Lindsey is a beautiful District and there is no better way to explore it than on foot. "
