GET Walking Week is shuffling towards us – from Saturday, May 4 – and to mark it, Greenwich Shopping Park has put in the yards to find the best walks locally, and the kit to make it great.

A walk in the park

With Greenwich Park right on the doorstep, there is no excuse not to get involved. Why not make it a family affair and get the children excited about walking? Take them for a stroll around the flower lined paths and roman ruins, and if their little legs get tired, take a boat trip out on the lake.

Don’t forget...to capture the moment. Boots has a wide range of cameras, like this Canon PowerShot A2300 with 5x optical zoom, £81.75, so you can capture your memories and share with friends.

These boots are made for walking

If you are looking for something a little more challenging then take a five mile walk along the Thames Path as it winds its way through some of the most evocative spots on the historic riverbank. Start out at Tower Bridge and finish at Greenwich Foot Tunnel on the North Bank.

Don’t forget...to wear the appropriate footwear. Keep your feet comfortable in these Storm ladies Weathertite walking shoes, £59.99 from SportsDirect.com.
