We hope that everyone will be able to enjoy walking with others of the same ability. So often if we walk on our own there are times that we ‘get out of the habit’ of going out regularly!!!
Walking with members of Cardiac Friends, everyone chats and benefits from the exercise at the same time as having a pleasant, enjoyable few hours. The social side of these groups is as beneficial to many as well as the physical exertion giving us a feeling of satisfaction.
LONDON GUIDED WALKS
Starting from a coffee and toilet stop location, the London walks are designed to be a leisurely stroll with frequent stops for our Blue Badge Guide to explain points of interest. She is well practiced at taking us at a sedate pace in keeping with both our age and our health and physical limitations. The walk is spread over some 2 hours but is by no means strenuous or physically demanding. The use of a headphone broadcast system makes the whole experience more comfortable and helps enormously in the noisy and crowded environments of the capital, and wherever possible she will pause where there is public seating so people can take a rest.
The group returns to the Sir John Oldcastle for lunch around 2pm (not included in the cost).
The coach will pick up in Letchworth, Hitchin and Stevenage.
Approx 6 walks per year.
Always on a Sunday.
Cost – to be advised.

MONDAY WALKS
These walks are shorter and taken at an amble with frequent stops if needed. It is a time to meet friends and chat as well as walk. Perhaps if you are not accustomed to going out and walking then this group might just help you to change. Come and ‘walk’ with a group of supportive friendly people.
The start venue is usually a garden centre with a café so that refreshments and a chat can be enjoyed after. Also, members who are unable or do not wish to walk can wait in the comfort of the café for the others to return.

The walkers set off around 10.30am and return at approx. 12.30pm. Many walk in all weathers, enjoying the company of all the regulars.
