Strollers Health Walk

The Strollers Health Walk is a friendly, relaxed and highly social walk designed for anyone who would like to become more active, improve their fitness or simply enjoy walking with a supportive group.

This is our gentler-paced option, making it a great starting point if you haven’t exercised for a while, are building your confidence, have health concerns or would like to gradually work towards longer or more vigorous walks.

We walk at a pace that suits the group and nobody is left behind. There is plenty of time to chat, enjoy the fresh air and get to know other walkers.

Regular walking can help improve stamina, strength, balance and general wellbeing, and even a relatively gentle walk can be a valuable step towards becoming more active.

If you are already comfortable walking at a slightly stronger pace, our Striders Health Walk may be more suitable. The Striders leave at 10.15am.

Most importantly, this is a welcoming and sociable session. Come along, enjoy some fresh air, meet new people and take a positive step towards keeping active.
