Do you like going out for a walk, but not too far, and without stiles? Do you like going to different places – parks or local villages or footpaths and towpaths?
And do you like having someone to talk to while doing so? And having a cup of coffee or tea (and maybe lunch) afterwards? Are you interested in improving and maintaining your mobility?
If the answer to these is Yes, then the Strollers group of walkers could be for you.
The group goes out twice a month on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays and aims to walk up to 3 miles with no stiles.
· Meet at 10.00 - 10.15 am, depending on the location.
· Wear sensible walking footwear and appropriate comfortable clothing.
· Bring drink and medication if appropriate.
· Transport: negotiate own lifts between members (list available from Ros) or use the X3 or X7 bus.
· There is no charge for meetings; members pay for their own drinks or meals.
