Face to Face Recovery College Courses
Life is busy and heading out for a walk can be the last thing on our minds, but the positive impact that this can have on both our physical and mental health, should really make it the top of our priority lists. So now is the time to prioritise this in your diary to join us for a gentle walk at the park and hopefully help support you learn how you can build this exercise into your daily life from home.
We will be mindful of our surroundings and enjoy the company of our fellow walkers, even if it’s wet and we need our rain jackets. We will have a topic of interest for our walk to help us learn more about the benefits of walking and being outdoors and you will be encouraged to develop this learning whilst you are on your walks from home.
The walk will be at a gentle pace and held within an adaptable venue, however, students will need a moderate level of fitness to engage within the walk.
You will need to dress in comfortable clothes and trainers appropriate for exercising in. Ensure you bring a bottle of water but please be advised this will need to be carried. The Holmfield Arms has agreed to let us use their toilet, but please be aware that these toilets are near the meeting place and there are no other public toilets along the walk route.
