February Events in Nene Park
4 February 2010
Every Monday
Walking for Health Walk
Ferry Meadows Country Park
Walking makes you feel good and improves your health and we provide an opportunity to have fun and meet new people. Everybody is welcome on the walks, including people who wouldn't call themselves active, but we are especially keen to meet people who are trying to build up their daily activity levels, people who have or are at risk of experiencing poor health, and people who maybe feel isolated and would like to meet new people.
The walks are led by specially trained walk leaders. Please wear flat shoes or trainers on all walks. Don't worry if you're not used to walking, come and give it a try!
Time: 10:30 - 11:30
