Primary school children in Cornwall have been taking part in an active travel challenge to show they will walk, cycle or scooter to school and won’t be beaten by wintry weather.

The challenge, an initiative run by the charity Sustrans in partnership with Cornwall Council this winter, has encouraged pupils to travel more actively to school, benefiting their health and helping to reduce congestion around the school gates.

Pupils from schools in Truro, St Austell and St Agnes were invited to take part in a Winter Warriors competition by submitting photos of themselves walking, scooting or cycling to school-despite the weather.

They also created pictures and slogans designed to inspire their peers to continue travelling actively to school.
