Today I led the health walk in Abingdon, leaving the White Horse Leisure Centre at 2.30pm on the first Sunday of every month (except Bank Holiday weekends). Walks take place every Wednesday mornings too leaving the Leisure Centre at 10.30am. We walked around the River Thames over the lock and back through Abbey Meadows. The river is still very full, but the meadow has completely dried out after the floods. Health walks take place all over the county and indeed all over the country and were set up and funded by the Countryside Agency (now renamed Natural England). Visit their website at: http://www.whi.org.uk/
to find out where walks are taking place in your area.
I helped to set up health walks in Wantage too, which take place every Thursday at 10am at the Vale and Downland Museum in Church Street, Wantage. If you wish to come along, please do just turn up, there is a small health assessment form to fill in, but otherwise you can just join in as and when you wish to. It is all completely free and run by volunteer walk leaders.

Walks are usually just about 1-3 miles long, and take up to an hour. It is a great way to keep fit if you don't get much exercise and a way of meeting new faces with similar interests.
