New research from #ThisGirlCan shows that ONE IN SIX WOMEN have felt so unwelcome in a physical activity setting, they never returned to that type of activity.

That’s why everyone’s guaranteed a warm welcome at our free Ramblers Wellbeing Walks. 🥾💚

WE WON! 🥾✊🌳

The Ramblers has won a long-running legal battle against landowner Roxlena Ltd, bringing much-loved paths in Hayton Woods a step closer to being protected for future generations!

Today, the High Court judge ruled in our favour in this landmark case that could have punished locals...🧵
