Huntingdonshire Health Walk Scheme
February 2020
Trained walk leaders will lead eight different health walks this
month from the thirty-or-so assigned to the group. The walks
are on Wednesdays at 2pm and Fridays at 10am. On the 7th
and the 19th, we shall meet outside the Village Hall, where
toilet and refreshment facilities are available, as with most oth-
er health walk venues. For more information, please see be-
low.
Health walks will suit anyone able to maintain an exercise-
walking pace for an hour-or-so. There are also 20-30-minute
walks from the Buckden GP Surgery on Thursdays from 10am.
Suitable clothing/footwear plus a small bottle of drinking water
are key accessories.
The "free" walk scheme, largely financed by council subsidies,
does encourage walkers' voluntary contributions; especially as
accident insurance cover is provided, plus a programme bro-
chure.

health walk coordinator on 01480 387047,
