A SIDMOUTH woman is offering people the opportunity to walk their way to a healthier 2008.

Janet Ackford has been leading a walking group in the town since autumn and is looking for new members to kick start the new year.

She said: "My groups are going to be hitting the streets again. It's a great way to get fit, be sociable and burn off all those excesses of Christmas. It's an hour of energetic walking, but at your own pace."

Mrs Acroyd's groups meet on Tuesdays at 1.30pm in various locations and on Fridays at the sports centre at 5.50pm. Call (01395) 516169 or 07854 080740.
