Walk Description:

Take time out to enjoy a 5-6km walk and talk along some of the tracks to be found in and around Cuerden Valley Park. Spring summer autumn and winter bring different colours and shapes to the trees so its never the same as the last time you walked here. We may walk past the lake and along the banks of the river.

When finished refreshments man be taken at the cafe. 

 

It is essential to register and book in advance online.

 

It is advisable to wear a bum bag with a water bottle or hydration pack. Do bring a high energy snack to have on the hoof or as soon as we finish. Wear comfortable clothing that suitable for the weather. Do wear sturdy grippy shoes.

We respect people`s busy agendas and do like to start promptly. Please arrive 5 minutes early for your class and be ready to start on time.

 

Walk speed guide:

Very little stopping. 2.5mph-3mph+ (these are generally Total Body Walx, but also explore this pace on our Explorer and Adventure walks)   Strenuous walk - gear 3/4  (these are generally Total Body Walx, but also explore this pace on our Explorer and Adventure walks).
