This February scrap the gym membership and leave the car at home instead. February 2007 is ‘Car Free’ month in the New Forest. Why February? I can hear you say. Well, because if it is possible to park the car in February - there is no excuse - it can be done all year round. Of course, not everyone is able to leave the car behind. But for the 92% of drivers who do journeys of less than one mile - now is the time to consider pedal power, walking or public transport. Leaving the car behind gives you more exercise, helps to reduce stress and may even slow up your hectic life style - just a little. What’s more your actions will reduce carbon emissions and ease congestion. Hotels across the forest are inviting visitors to leave their cars in the car park too. During February 2007 hundreds of visitors across the forest will be given maps and encouraged to walk or cycle from their accommodation. If you are an accommodation provider and you want to know more about Car Free month then email Christina Simons at the Cottage Hotel in Brockenhurst on
