er or activity.

Huntingdonshire Health Walk Scheme
Huntingdon Group March 2016
Have you seen a special article about this scheme in
this issue? If not, please read it (p12), it might "grab"
you!? New walkers are always welcome to join us for
about an hour, whenever it suits, for the benefit of
health, and happiness too, dare I say?
Choose from nine walks in April: two are new, and
one starts/finishes at the Village Hall Car Park (with
optional refreshments there afterwards). This is the
'Buckden Ramble' on Friday the 1st, at 9.50 for a
10am start. If you come, you will be given our bro-
chure, which features health walks up to the end of
August. Brochures are also available at the hall and
the library.
For more information, please contact
