Why walk? • a great way of meeting new people - most walks finish in the pub for a drink and a natter • a chance to get outside in your local green spaces and countryside – helping to combat stress, depression and anxiety • brisk walking helps reduce the risk of diabetes, Alzheimer's, bowel cancer and can help prevent osteoporosis, high blood pressure, stroke and coronary heart disease

  4. What our health walkers say… “The health walks are just great. Excellent leaders, good routes, good pubs for a drink afterwards. Thanks!” “In the days of the credit crunch what can be better than a good walk followed by a cup of tea – good for us and our wallet!” “I have found the walks really beneficial. I feel so much better in myself; I’m fitter, I’ve lost weight and my Doctor is amazed at how much my cholesterol and blood pressure has lowered without taking tablets.”
