Each risk - assessed, exercise - paced, walk is planned to take about an hour. Walkers should be sure that their footwear and clothing will cope with the day's weather and ground condi- tions. Also, carrying a bottle of drinking water is recommended, in case of dehydration. There are eight walks this month, so plenty of opportunity to walk off any post Christmas blues!

To ensure that you always have current information about the walks, please pick up a full information leaflet from the May- field Surgery or the Library. Also available from walk leader.
