Buckden Roundabout
August 2019
Huntingdonshire Health Walk Scheme August 2019
This month, the group will be walking out on its four Wednes-
days at 2pm and five Fridays at 10am, 9 out of the 29 safe, av-
erage-60-minute, trained-leader-led walks. The walk on the
30th is from the Village Hall car park, and the one on the 21st is
from the Black Horse pub at Godmanchester, not Brampton.
Anyone able to maintain an exercise-walking pace for up to 75
minutes should enjoy these walks. Suitable clothing and foot-
wear plus a small bottle of drinking water are key accessories.
The walks are free but voluntary contributions are welcome, as
there is a generous council subsidy and accident insurance cov-
er is provided. Refreshment and toilet facilities are normally
provided at the chosen rendezvous.
Please note that there are also 20-30-minute walks from the
Buckden GP Surgery every Thursday from 10am.
