Striders, Strollers & Stragglers
Walking Group Programme
March - November (First Thursday)
Our walk-leaders, who will be present to guide us on each walk, are fully trained by South Eastern Trust's Health Development Department. They will easily be identified as they will be wearing the 'official red' jacket/fleece/polo shirt when leading us.
As far as possible we pick venues to suit all levels of fitness. We divide our Group into three sections.
- Striders - A long walk (2.5 - 3 miles) at a fairly brisk pace
- Strollers (fast) - A short walk (1-2 miles) at a brisk pace
- Strollers (slow) - A short walk (1-2 miles) at a more leisurely pace
- Stragglers - A stroll not too far from the coach-parking area
There will always be one walk-leader for each section, but hopefully two.
