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
The ‘Walkers Group’ is for those who are able to walk a distance and keep up with our Blue Badge London Guide, though the speed is governed by the slowest walkers. We have coffee near the start of the walk and keep going for 2 hours with a comfort stop.

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.
(30 – 45 minutes).
Fortnightly.
Start time 10.30.
Start venue: Various.
******************************
WEDNESDAY WALKS
These walks tend to be out in the countryside rather than in built up areas (unless the weather and ground conditions make the country paths unsafe).
Some are further afield – out towards Royston, Pirton etc., Always meeting at a pub where everyone is able to pre – book lunch if they choose for when they 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.
Some members of Cardiac Friends are unable to walk the distance or cope with the terrain, but do join the walkers at the pub afterwards for a meal, chat and laughter.
(90 – 120 minutes)
Fortnightly on Wednesday.
Assembly time 10.15 am.
Start venue: Various.
