Huntingdonshire Health Walk Scheme
Huntingdon Group July 2017
There are 8 Wednesday-afternoon/Friday-morning health walks
in July, although none of them starts in the village this month.
Health walks are of 45-80 minutes' duration. You walk at your
own pace but with the added benefits of being in the company
of other walkers and trained walk leaders, who can also supply
you with our brochure..
There's no guarantee of good weather, so walkers are advised
to wear weather-proof clothes and sturdy shoes, and to carry a
bottle of water.
After the walk, there's usually a cup of tea/coffee available to
enjoy. Walking'n'talking is a very therapeutic, friendly and `fun'
activity -- it would be great if you could join us.
For further information, please check out
www.huntingdonshire.gov.uk/healthwalks, or feel free to tele-
phone Danielle Sancaster on 01480 387047
