It’s International Walk To School Month in October.
But Sunderland and County Durham are already embracing the benefits of stepping out in style.
And so are we with a look back at some walking to school events in the past from Hylton Castle, Ryhope, Havelock, Grange Park and West Rainton Primary Schools.
The worldwide Walk To School initiative aims to raise awareness of the benefits of reducing car journeys to the school gates.
Let’s remind ourselves of the great work already being done.
