Stepping back in time to these 10 South Tyneside walking photos as thousands of us step up our New Year exercise
Are you braced for a step-up in your exercise levels in 2022?
If a New Year resolution includes a plan to get out and walk more, why not get some inspiration from these keen sponsored walkers from South Tyneside in the past.
They put their best foot forward and did it in style in Wawn Street and St Wilfrid’s RC School. They trekked at Epinay and Albert Elliott Primary Schools and at All Saints Church in Cleadon too.
So if it’s a touch of New Year inspiration to exercise that you need, look no further.
And if it is just a chance to look back in time and spot someone you know, then take a look and enjoy the walking memories.
