The council used to run ‘Health walks’ (which stopped last year due to the funding cuts).
I was one of the walk leaders.
Very enjoyable as it got people out into the countryside and walking, something which a lot of them hadn’t done for years.
The aim was to get for example an ex-heart patient into some easy low input exercise. When they were able to walk at least a mile without getting out of breath they were sent to the ‘one a day’ walks (which is what I led).
They had a choice of at least 5 walks during the week which would be 2-3 miles long lasting 2 hours, with a short break.As a leader it only took up 2 hours once a fortnight.
I loved it and got as many as 26 attending at any one time. However illness put paid to it as I wasn’t able to commit to definite dates.
It’s so rewarding when a complete stranger comes up and thanks you for helping them and giving up your time.
