RIAS

RIAS is pleased to have formed a partnership with the National Trust to help inspire more people to get walking.

They are supporting the development of a range of web downloadable walking guides which provide interesting information, maps and route directions to help you explore the great outdoors and stay healthy at the same time. The walks range from one mile strolls to 10 mile hikes, so whatever your energy levels or available free time, there’s something here to get you active – just print one and take it on your day out.

RIAS chose to support the National Trust, which has 3.5 million members and 49,000 volunteers, due to its popularity with the over 50s market. Both are respected and trusted brands, that offer quality and reassurance to their supporters and customers.
