### 5/5 — Losing weight whilst having fun!

*2016-06-07*

After deciding I want to lose weight, I was originally looking for an app for walks around Doncaster when I stumbled across this gem!I have lived in Doncaster for 13 years and have walked past the sites on this app many times. Until now I had no idea of the historical significance or anecdotes that these building carried with it.  Now I am not just walking to keep my body fit, but having fun with the added bonus of also learning about the town I live i would recommend this app to anyone with an interest in history or just staying active!
