Last Friday, we were delighted to join forces with local walking charity Valeways for a guided walk around The Knap, Barry. An amazing 40 walkers took part who were a mixture of regulars and first time walkers. It was great to chat to the fantastic volunteers and walkers who enjoy walking for many different reasons: health, enjoying nature and of course the connection and friendships that walking with a group brings. The walk was organised as part of #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek but don't forget Mind in the Vale continues to offer support to anyone who is feeling isolated and lonely all year round, please visit www.mindinthevale.org.uk if you need to access support or advice. Thank you to the wonderful walk leaders Mike, Paul, Oggy, Rebecca, official photgrapher Owen and members of Valeways for making us feel so welcome and providing walking opportunities across the Vale. If you'd like to join Valeways for one of their guided walks, give their page a follow or you can find their walking programme at www.valeways.org.uk.Photo credits: Owen Leach ... See MoreSee Less
