WALK CANCELLED -
Please note that the Walk due to take place on Tuesday 7 Feb 2012
at 10.30 from Courtaulds Sports Ground, Halstead has been
cancelled due to the weather conditions.
***********************
Who can take part?
Walking for Well Being is open for everyone, whatever your age or
ability.
We have a large variety of free, pre planned walks and the
programme includes 'shorter walks' for those who are just beginning
to enjoy walking or prefer to take things that little bit slower.
The programmes are available through the link on the right.
Are you interested in becoming a walk leader?
We are always looking to recruit new volunteer walk
leaders.
To be a leader all that is required is a knowledge of your local
area and finding a route that you would feel comfortable in guiding
others.
Please contact -
walking@braintree.gov.uk
for further information.
What else do I need to know?
It is advisable to wear suitable footwear which will support your
ankles when walking. It is also advisable to bring a drink of water
with you on a warm day.
The potential benefits of walking far outweigh the risks but if
you haven't participated in much exercise recently and are worried
about your health, please make sure you check with your doctor
before increasing your activity levels. You may wish to start with
our Heart and Sole walking programme.
Young children are welcome on the walks accompanied by an
adult.
