Walk Description:

A more gentle walk for those with a recent medical condition that means that mobility is limited, and who feel their fitness levels have declined as a result.

The challenge is still to manage an hour walk, with rests when needed. Regular weekly walks can bring improvements.

Start of the walk is at the same time as the other group. Warming up exercises are together and we meet again in the car park for a hot drink.

Gear 1 - max 2 miles at your pace.

Walk Description:

Starting from the main Eartham Woods car park, we’ll explore one of the many varied routes through this beautiful woodland.

Expect a mixture of woodland paths with some ups and downs along the way. Depending on the route we choose, we may also venture out of the woods to enjoy some lovely open downland views.

The varied terrain gives us opportunities to work a little harder on the hills, but we’ll always keep the group together and allow everyone to tackle the climbs at their own pace.

The exact route may vary depending on the weather and underfoot conditions, which means there is always something slightly different to enjoy.

A lovely walk for those who enjoy woodland, varied terrain, a few hills and good company.

Walking Levels Explained

Easy – Up to 2.5 to 3 mph 

Ideal for casual walkers who enjoy conversation along the way. These walks are mostly flat, and any hills will be tackled slowly and gently.

Moderate – 3 to 3.5 mph

A steady pace that may lead to slightly heavier breathing, particularly on inclines. Suitable for those looking for a bit more of a workout.

Challenging – 3.5 to 4 mph

Suited for experienced walkers who enjoy pushing their pace. These walks may include longer durations (2+ hours), steeper inclines/declines, or uneven terrain. Though challenging, there will be moments to catch your breath, usually on flat or downhill sections.

Note: We never leave anyone behind. The walk leader makes sure everyone is looked after.
