Further info:

 

These walks are designed for all ages, if you have never been on a walk, stuck in the house with nothing to do, then this is a ideal oppertunity to get out and about and a good way to get into walking with maybe joining us on our other walks, a outdoor health questionaire will be required to be filled in before you start the walk, so if you are recovering from a operation or illness, sat at home bored? then these are for you.

 

Health Screening:

 

For most people, physical activity does not pose a hazard, however:

 

a. Has a doctor ever said you have a heart condition?

b. Do you feel pain in your chest when you do physical activity?

c. Do you ever lose balance because of dizziness or ever lose consciousness?

d. In the past month have you had pain in your chest when you were NOT doing physical activity?

e. Do you have a bone or joint problem that could be made worse by a change in your physical activity?

 

If you answered yes to any of the Health Screening questions, you must seek medical advice before participating in a walk.

Great walk today with ending at the cafe total of 3.25 miles our average speed was 3mph the walk took 1hr 7 minutes, and a total of 7,167 steps

 

2 from last week caled to say they could not make it, and one we missed by about 5 minutes both at the start and at the cafe which was a shame, but fortunately she now knows to text me in future if she is running late.

 

Glad to hear that all three will be on next weeks walk.

 

However with those 3 missing, we still managed to beat last weeks turnout and todays total was 13.

A big welcome to our three new walkers today.
