Waveney 'Go Active' Health Walks

Region: East of England

Last updated: 06, October 2011

This free scheme is aimed at anyone who wants to include more walking in their life either for their health, joints, weight, heart, breathing etc. or indeed to improve their mental well being by making new friends, getting out in the fresh air and socialising.

It is open to anyone of any fitness levels, as long as their doctor approves this form of exercise for them 

Our walks

The walks offer a variety of distances from one mile up to five plus miles, they cover hard and soft ground are sometimes by the sea or sometimes in the countryside.

Morning walks shown on the Beccles programme start at 10.30am and walks showing on the Lowestoft programme start at 10.00 am.

All afternoon walks start at 2.00pm.

These programmes can be obtained every two months from the co-ordinator. The programme will give a brief guide as to the type of walk and distance covered. 

Phone numbers for walk leaders are printed so any doubts or queries about the suitablity can be talked over with them.

Events

Every year we have a very well attended Christmas meal - last year over 60 walkers met up and enjoyed their evening very much. 

35 walkers also spent a happy afternoon in the New Year (after a walk) celebrating 2009 at a walk leaders open house.

In the Summer months we put on  monthly evening walks which are very popular and last year attracted 45 walkers .
