Welcome to the Winter 2018 programme Walking for Health brochure.

Full details of all of our walks are available at: www.onelifesuffolk.co.uk/our-services/health-walks and click on the Stepping Out in Suffolk Walk Calendar.

Each walk description will give you information on the grade, time, distance and other possible features on the walk so you will be able to choose walks to suit you. Stepping Out in Suffolk provide short, free Health Walks which take between 30-90 minutes. Postcodes are given for the meeting place or the nearest postcode to parking location.

Walks are graded so you can be sure they are suitable to your ability:

1 2 3 4 5On easy,

good, flat surfaces

Mostly one level, can be

muddy

Some moderate

slopes, good surfaces

More challenging, may include steeper slopes, rough

ground or mud in wet weather

As grade 4, but may include one or two

stiles and can be slightly

faster in pace

Why is walking the perfect activity for health?

• Almost everyone can do it.

• You can do it anywhere & anytime.

• It’s a chance to make new friends.

• It’s free & you don’t need to book or have special equipment.

• You can also start slowly & build up gently.

On your first Health Walk we will ask you to fill out a Health Questionnaire which the walk leaders will have available for you on the day or alternatively download a copy at:

www.onelifesuffolk.co.uk

and bring it to your first walk. At the start of each walk a register is filled in to keep a record of the number of walkers attending. Our Health Walks, are accredited to the national body Walking for Health who are funded by Macmillan Cancer Care under the umbrella of The Ramblers. They are led by trained volunteer walk leaders to ensure that they are effective and above all, enjoyable!

Please note: Where there is no Dog Icon against a walk this means that ONLY Registered Assistance Dogs are permitted, no other dogs will be allowed on that walk.

Please note: Extreme weather conditions may result in a walk being cancelled. If this happens, or you would like to check please see the website or contact Client Services on 01473 718193.

Please note: Due to the nature of the walks it is important to wear appropriate clothing, that is easy to move in and suitable footwear such as trainers/walking boots.

Get on board and catch a bus to your walk! Finding out routes and times has never been easier: www.suffolkonboard.com
