Whether it's a new routine or a regular habit, lots of us will be heading out for health walks, runs, or jogs this month.
Layer up and wear something bright, fluorescent, or reflective so other road users can see you, especially on dull days or after dark.

Dressing brightly can help other road users spot you. Even a colourful jacket or reflective strip can help make a difference. #BeBrightAtNight

It's Winter Solstice - our shortest day and the astronomical start of winter.
While we can celebrate that the nights will soon be lighter again, we've still got a few months of winter and short darker days to get through.
Take steps to stay visible and safe. #BeBrightAtNight

[Get_about @get_about]

The festive period can be hectic and overwhelming at times. A short walk can lift your mood, boost energy and reduce stress.
If you’re heading out, remember: layer up, add something bright or reflective, and be ready for all weathers!

Busy festive weekends mean more people out and about on our roads.

Whether you’re shopping, meeting friends, or enjoying the atmosphere, be safe on your travels, make sure you look out for other road users, have a safe way home and let others know your plans.

Twinkling lights are popping up all over the North East, and it’s great to take the same bright approach when we travel...🧵

[Get_about @get_about]

Adding something reflective, luminous or brightly coloured to an outfit can help you stand out in the dark or low-light conditions. Cyclists and drivers should ensure they have suitable lights and use them at the correct times.

[Get_about @get_about]

The low sun at this time of year can cause glare and reduce visibility for drivers. Keep your windows clean inside and out, as dirty windows can increase glare. Be sure to look out for others on the road. For more #BeBrightatNight travel tips visit https://t.co/XNdXdNbfy9

Our autumn weather can change quickly, especially when dense fog rolls in.

Whether you’re driving, cycling, or walking, always be prepared for sudden drops in visibility.

#BeBrightAtNight and follow steps to keep yourself and others safe.

[Get_about @get_about]

Many of us will be off out for bonfires, fireworks, and fun after dark! If you’re heading out tonight, don’t just let the fireworks shine—make sure you do too. Wear something bright or reflective, check your lights if you’re driving or cycling, & plan how you’ll get home safely

We've been blessed with some fantastic weather so far this May for #NationalWalkingMonth - no better time to get outside! 🥰🚶‍♀️Boost your mood, boost your step count and enjoy the fresh air!

[Get_about @get_about]

Walking with others offers a wonderful opportunity to make connections around you. Whether it’s getting out at lunch with colleagues, an evening catch-up with a friend, or a weekend family outing.

[Get_about @get_about]

Walking is a wonderful way to boost both your physical health & mental well-being.
Enjoy a mood lift as your walk fills you with feel-good endorphins and take a moment to connect with nature and your community around you. Take a break, unwind, & step outside to feel the benefits.

[Get_about @get_about]

It's #EarthDay - a worldwide environmental campaign to encourage action for climate change. The way we choose to travel can be part of our action. Opting to walk, wheel, cycle or use public transport (when you can) can help to cut emissions, and create greener and cleaner spaces.

💪Community Groups, Charities and Social Enterprises - we’re looking for you!
Do you have a project that empowers people to make active and sustainable travel choices #Aberdeen and #Aberdeenshire?

Blowing away the cobwebs?
When we’re walking walking or cycling, it's important to dress brightly to help other road users spot us. Wearing brightly coloured jackets, high-viz or adding reflective strips to an outfit can make a difference.
