Time to blow away the cobwebs! Make a New Year Resolu-
tion to take the health-walk plunge, featuring fresh air and
own exercise-pace walking for 45 to 80 minutes, on
Wednesdays from 2pm, and on Fridays from 10am!
This month, there are 9 walks (please see below), all differ-
ent, all risk-assessed, insured, and all guided by trained lead-
ers. In winter, please wear suitably sturdy footwear and
warm/waterproof clothing, carrying a small bottle of drink-
ing water will avoid dehydration. An optional after-walk cup
of tea/coffee is usually available.
Do hope you will join us and enjoy and share the benefits of
this healthy, fun hobby. An optional yearly donation would
be welcomed, but there is no charge-per-walk.
