Huntingdonshire Health Walk Scheme
Huntingdon Group November 2017
This month, there are 5 Wednesday-p.m. and 4 Friday-a.m.
health walks. On the 3rd, the walk centres on the Village Hall
car park, and on the 1st, there is a new walk starting/
finishing at the bottom end of Cow Lane, Godmanchester.
For details of other walks, please see below.
Health walks are led by trained walk leaders, are at your
own exercise pace, and are between 45 and 80 minutes'
long. You benefit from this measured walking in the compa-
ny of other like-minded walkers. It's vital that weatherproof
clothing and footwear are worn, and that you have a bottle
of drinking water. Usually, the option of a cup of tea/coffee
is available afterwards.
Regular health-walking is also fun -- why not "give it a go"?
