Huntingdonshire Health Walk Group
Starting from the Village Hall at 1.50pm for 2pm on
WEDNESDAY 6th MAY, the group is walking its
DIDDINGTON DODDLE, in other words, a 'circular'
walk to and from Diddington, which will take about
70 minutes at non-racing pace. Tea and biscuits
will be available in the hall afterwards, if fancied.
Whatever the weather, this walk is on the 'dry' side.
Why not give it a try?
Also, to pep up enjoyment of Summer evenings out-
doors, the group will be walking for 45-55 minutes
on different routes from the Cafe at Hinchingbrooke
Country Park, every Thursday from 6.05pm be-
tween 7th May through 27th August -- a great way
of shaking off the strains and stresses of the day!
(After 6pm, parking there will be free; the Cafe will
not be open, but the Toilets will be!).
You should be able to pick up a full Health Walk
brochure for the four months (May to August) at the
start of each walk, and also from the Library, the
Surgeries and the Marina.

ter, the Sports Development Officer, on 01480
