The morning walks are ideal as an introduction to our scheme and are perfect for the less able and those recovering from illness or injury. We often split into two groups to suit the varying abilities of those attending, but there is always a walk of about twenty to thirty minutes, on the flat, along the seafront. Meet at the Mowlem Theatre at 10:30am.
The afternoon walks cater for a range of abilities and are often split to allow optimum walking speeds and distances for individuals. The duration is usually 60 to 90 minutes and we always meet at 2pm. Check the website for walk details.',
