If you require a lift or any further information, please con- tact Jane Scott on 811468 or Betty Millard on 810087 Wellbeing Walks Huntingdon May 2023 Leaflets detailing the group's nine Wellbeing Walks this month are at the Library and the Buckden Surgery. On Friday the 12 th May the group meets at the Buckden Marina car park at 10am; the leaflet shows where the remaining walks will assemble. These walks, formerly “ Health ” walks, are led by trained volun- teer - leaders and are safety - checked; they welcome folk who feel they can walk at a steady exercise pace for about an hour: speed is not the key. Bearing in mind what sort of day it is, firm walking shoes and all - weather clothing should be worn. Carry- ing a small bottle of drinking water will also help in case of de- hydration. Up to ten minutes before a walk, please see the leader to regis- ter your presence, then enjoy the walk and the pleasant com- pany.
