FREE weekly health walks are taking place in and around Great Harwood.

Organisers of the Stepping Out Walking Project meet walkers every Friday at 10.30am outside Mercer Hall.

Co-ordinator Fran Riley said: "We walk at a moderate pace on footpaths, muddy tracks and through fields."

Walks take around an hour to 90 minutes.

Walkers are asked to wear comfortable clothing and shoes or boots suitable for the weather.
