Rural Strides is a walking community around the Western Weald, the area around Petersfield

A successful campaign 20 years or so ago had it included in the South Downs (and we learn why.)

Rural Strides takes people walking round the Western Weald.

Organiser Malinka van der Gaauw speaks to Mike Waddington about why people book to explore our area, and discover history, environment and often peace.

Malinka will launch three new walks in August around the phrase 'the butcher, baker and candlestick maker.'

A local mum who created a parent-and-baby group — and a listening ear for other parents — celebrates its first year in Liphook

Hannah Chandler wanted to create a safe, welcoming space where parents could meet, share their experiences, support one another and, importantly, make new friends and build those all-important local connections.

Following a successful first year, Liphook Bumps & Babies, which meets every other week, is celebrating its first anniversary with an informal summer picnic organised by Hannah.

Hannah shares her journey with Jo Gray.
