PEOPLE who love the indoor life are being encouraged to discover the great outdoors.
The Forestry Commission has launched a campaign involving walks, events and bike rides to entice people to get fitter. Routes include the Duchess Walking Trail in Kielder Forest, and the Neighbour Moor Tour Cycle route in Hamsterley, County Durham.
Recreation manager Pippa Kirkham said: "When summer kicks in, the forest is undoubtedly one of the best places to be. You've got superb scenery, fresh air, wildlife and peace and quiet - all the ingredients for a great day out."
