There is only one Wellbeing Walk starting in the village during September 2022, which is on Friday the 16 th at 10am. This is the “ Hardwick Circular ” walk, which is from the Village Hall Car Park, Burberry Road, Buckden, PE19 5UY. Hopefully, the Surgery and/or the Library may have a few cop- ies left of the month's other walks. A new leaflet, covering Oc- tober onwards, is in the course of preparation. There's now no need to “ book ” your intention to take part in any walks. All we ask is that walkers please look carefully at weather and ground conditions, and be clothed suitably. Also, carrying a bottle of drinking water is also a key accessory on very warm days, to avoid dehydration. www.huntingdonshire.gov.uk/wellbeingwalks E: activelifestyles@huntingdonshire.gov.uk T: 01480 388111 Happy walking!
