MARLBOROUGH

<p>It&rsquo;s such an incredible place, Marlborough. And it&rsquo;s ours to enjoy. You don&rsquo;t need to walk mega miles or summit the tallest peak to have an amazing day out.</p> <p>There&rsquo;s another world, just down the road ... how about:</p> <ul> <li> Try a wander to the top of the Withers for a spectacular lookout over to the hills across the huge Wairau Valley. On a clear day you can almost touch the hills around Wellington.</li> <li> Start by stepping out on a short stroll this winter with your family, your dog, your friends, your mother, your kids, or everyone at once. Enjoy the fresh air; even 10-15 minutes can make a difference to your outlook and your health.</li> <li> Pull out your hat and mittens if you need to, and make a fixed plan with someone to go for a walk at the same time, even just once a week, on a particular day. No matter how long or short. And end the walk with something you enjoy &ndash; a coffee in town, a cuppa and a chat at your house &ndash; it could be the start of a great tradition, and is great fun.</li> <li> By the time spring rolls around and is performing its magic you&rsquo;ll feel energised and keen to get out there to enjoy it.</li> </ul>
