Every Body Outdoors in Gloucestershire
Clare meets a fantastic group called Every Body Outdoors. They begin their walk in the village of King鈥檚 Stanley and complete a five-mile circuit on the Cotswold Way.
Clare is in the Cotswolds this week with a fantastic group called Every Body Outdoors. They begin their walk in the village of King鈥檚 Stanley, Gloucestershire and complete a five mile circuit taking in a stretch of Stroudwater Canal, before heading up to the top of Selsley Common.
Co-founded by Steph Wetherell, Every Body Outdoors is a walking group specifically aimed at plus size people who want to build confidence in the outdoors. Many had tried to join conventional groups but either didn鈥檛 feel welcome or had bad experiences.
Another aim of the group is to work with outdoor brands and retailers to encourage them to provide better designed plus-size kit and clothing . Most technical gear, Steph says, stops at a size 16-18 and there鈥檚 little available above a size 20.
The group has been so successful they鈥檝e recently trained a group of volunteers who now lead plus size walks all around the UK.
