Buckden Roundabout
August 2018
Huntingdonshire Health Walk Scheme
Huntingdon Group July 2018
There are 20 - 30 different healthwalks on the Huntingdon
group's "patch". Led by trained walk leaders, walks take place
every Wednesday at 2pm and Friday at 10am. August 2018's
ten walks include one from the Buckden Village Hall on the 8th,
and one from Buckden Marina on the 24th. Details are in a
booklet that leaders issue, or you can make contact as below.
If you can walk at your exercise-walking pace for 45 to 85
minutes, a healthwalk is for you. Wearing sturdy footwear and
weatherproof clothing is vital, and carrying a small bottle of
drinking water will avoid the risk of dehydration.
Healthwalking is healthy and fun. You can usually opt for a hot
drink afterwards. Walks cost nothing, although voluntary dona-
tions to the development of the subsidised scheme are grate-
fully received.
