May 2019
Huntingdonshire Health Walk Scheme April 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 Good Friday.
So in May, there will be 10 walks, one of which will be from
Buckden Village Hall on the 15th May.
Note that Godmanchester walks now start/finish at The Black
Bull Pub, 32 Post Street, Godmanchester, PE29 2AQ).
It is important to wear all-weather clothing and footwear, and
carry 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.
