I enjoyed taking part and I am continuing to count my steps as part of a weight loss and fitness program! Have enjoyed the challenge and it has been interesting to see where I have been "virtually". I will have to do the Rob Roy walk for real one day. It was real motivation for me to get moving I even undertook some of it on holiday Did the Ben Nevis challenge a few years ago and was actually great fun as well as getting exercise. Looking forward to this latest challenge. Summer Walks and Picnics Summer Walks and Picnic Feedback • Thank you for this afternoon, we don't often get away form the computer, phone bleep at lunch time so this was greatly appreciated by the team. • We think we will be back to the garden for our lunch over the summer. • It was fabulous. Thank you for organising it. The lunch was lovely and it made a welcome change to my day. It was fantastic enjoying the sunshine and meeting new people.

It also has health benefits on average a cyclist has 1 less sick day than other employees.
