These walks vary in length and require different levels of ability/fitness, we have something for everyone. Please see below for more info:
Thursday 5th September: Ogden Water Walk approx. 1.5 miles-this is a gentle, mostly flat walk with some slight hills. This walk is ideal for beginners.
Thursday 19th September: Sowerby Bridge Canal approx. 5 miles-this is a gentle, mostly flat walk. Due to the length of the walk this is ideal for walkers with moderate walking experience/experienced walkers.
Thursday 26th September: Manor Health Park approx. 3.5 miles this walk will be gentle but there is a steep hill to walk down. This walk is more suited towards learners who are more challenging walk for walkers with moderate walking experience.

"What truly made these walks transformative was the camaraderie they fostered. Interacting with fellow participants, sharing stories, and simply engaging in conversations dissolved the walls of isolation. The sense of belonging cultivated during these walks was a balm for my soul." A previous RWC learner
