We’reso lucky in Wales to have loads of open space to make the most of – and loadsof hills and mountains to climb. We’re going to continue to Get Physicalthroughout the summer by running our walking group and accessing more outdoor activitiesin partnership with organisations such as Natural ResourcesWales.”
