Meet Peter Lant, founder of Walking Solves (Bath), and Big BaNES 100k partner since last year.
Over the last three years, Peter, along with his trusty dog Sid, has developed the most incredible walking community in Bath. He has brought together hundreds of people from all walks of life (sorry, we couldn't resist!) through two weekly walks (Wednesday & Saturday).
You only need to tune into Peter's socials or the Facebook group with its 3,500 members to get a sense of what's evolved here: the beautiful energy that ripples through the group, and the benefits it brings its members.
As Peter said recently:
“Yes, we go walking. Yes, we go as a group. But it’s not about how fast we go or how many miles we do. It’s not even about the walks. The walks are just great things to do. Walking is good for you. It’s good for you mentally and it’s good for you physically. But it’s more about the community.”
Peter is taking on this year's Big BaNES 100k and, in true Walking Solves style, is going the extra mile (sorry again, this is too much fun!), aiming to complete 1,500km by the end of September.
He's almost there, so if you can give him a boost, and help him raise vital funds for our charity, Off the Record Bath and North East Somerset, donate today:

Thank you, and huge thanks to Peter. Wishing you all the best for the last stretch.
