Huntingdonshire Health Walk Scheme March 2019
The group now has a choice of almost 30 safe walks, led by
trained walk leaders. These happen on Wednesdays at 2pm
and Fridays at 10am, excluding Bank Holidays.
So in March, there will be 9 walks, one of which -- on the 22nd
-- will be from the village hall. (In future, Godmanchester walks
will be from The Black Bull PH, 32 Post Street, Godmanchester,
PE29 2AQ). Anyone whose exercise-walking pace is OK for
about an hour will enjoy the variety of routes and the sociabil-
ity of healthwalking.
It is important to wear all-weather clothing and footwear, and
be carrying a bottle of drinking water to avoid dehydration.
The scheme includes (free) insurance cover and is also subsi-
dised, so voluntary contributions are gratefully received. De-
tails appear in the brochure. Venues are normally close to after
-walk refreshment areas and the usual facilities.
