Huntingdonshire Health Walk Scheme
Huntingdon Group September 2016
There are nine different Wednesday morning/Friday
afternoon walks to choose from in September, one of
which starts at the Village Hall Car Park at 1.50 for
2pm: this is the `Diddington Doddle'.
New health-walkers, always welcome, will be offered
our pocket-size brochure, an ID and an Incentive card,
plus information re outdoor-activity clothes at dis-
counted prices.
`Healthwalks' are easy-paced and last for about an
hour, and we know that our walkers feel the benefits
of the steady exercise, cheery company, and
(normally) refreshment facilities afterwards. It's always
advisable to carry a bottle of water, especially on a hot
day, and to wear fairly sturdy footwear!
For further info., walk details and maps, please
browse the HDC website, or 'phone Doug Finlayson
(acting Sports Development Officer [Health]) on 01480
387047). Website: www.huntingdonshire.gov.uk/
