Well, not mine but nonetheless than Professor Jules Pretty Professor of Environment and Society at the University of Essex who reasons "We know that if you're physically active, you will push back the onset of dementia by 10 years. And if you have dementia, you can actually push them right away by being very physically active. It's generalisation that doesn't work for everybody. But it's the reason to make".
"We know that loneliness is equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes a day, that's the health effect it has on you. So if you can put people together in green places, actually you're achieving a whole range of other things, not just knowledge about nature and a sense of its value and importance, but you're also creating well-being amongst people."
So yeah; get outdoors, get active. Oh arr, and get to park pedal at Whitlingham every Saturday 10-11. If you can. No bother if you can't.
