Walking

Our Walking Buddies Scheme has been set up to introduce people to others who would like some company on their daily exercise! Lockdown has left a lot of people feeling isolated, so if you’re interested in meeting other people to go and get some fresh air with, why not join up to the scheme.

Just fill in your details on our form here and give us your preferences on the type of walks you like, and the distances and we’ll match you up with another local person who has similar goals. We live in such a beautiful place, and there’s a lot of positives to be taken from seeing the signs of spring which are everywhere now! Thank you to Helen Hayton for the beautiful photograph.

Obviously lockdown rules still apply, so you should only meet outdoors, and social distancing should apply at all times. You should re-arrange your walk if you have any symptoms of Covid-19 or have been advised to isolate by any medical professional. It’s important to make sure you keep yourself safe, as we are not able to provide walk leaders or anything at this time due to restrictions. It’s important to wear suitable clothing for the weather and take along a snack and a drink to keep your energy up. It’s a good idea to tell someone else who you are meeting and where, and avoid walking in remote places too.
