Buckden Roundabout
May 2018
Huntingdonshire Health Walk Scheme
Huntingdon Group May 2018
Our group's varied walks, led by trained walk leaders, take
place every Wednesday at 2pm and Friday at 10am. So, May
has nine walks to choose from, including one from the Buckden
Marina car park on the 25th. If you can comfortably walk for
between 45 and 90 minutes at your exercise-walking pace, you
can enjoy a health walk.
Details of the planned walks are available from the contacts
below. Sturdy footwear and warm/waterproof clothing are
important, and carrying a small bottle of drinking water will
help avoid dehydration.
Health walking is healthy and fun, and a tea or coffee is usually
available afterwards, if required. The walks are free, but volun-
tary donations to the predominantly Council-funded scheme
are welcomed.
You can visit www.huntingdonshire.gov.uk/healthwalks for
details, or telephone Danielle Sancaster on 01480 387047.
