Huntingdonshire Health Walk Scheme
Huntingdon Group July 2018
There are 20 - 30 different healthwalks on the Huntingdon
group's "patch". Led by trained walk leaders, walks take place
every Wednesday at 2pm and Friday at 10am. Details are in a
booklet that leaders issue, or you can make contact as below.
If you can walk at your exercise-walking pace for 45 to 85
minutes, a healthwalk is for you. Wearing sturdy footwear and
weatherproof clothing is vital, and carrying a small bottle of
drinking water will avoid the risk of dehydration.
Healthwalking is healthy and fun. You can usually opt for a hot
drink afterwards. Walks cost nothing, although voluntary dona-
tions to the development of the subsidised scheme are grate-
fully received.
