What if I can't do the walk?

As long as your health care professionals say it is OK for you to come with us, you are welcome, even if it means you need some help or may struggle. We all need help sometimes, we are here to help, we were where you were once and we understand how you feel. If you need a gentle stroll let us know and lets see what we can do to help.

What do I need to wear?

For the A walk you don't really need any special equipment other than warm and waterproof clothes, please do not wear trousers like jeans as they hold water when wet. For the B and C walks we would prefer walkers to have walking boots, good socks, walking trousers (quick dry material) and a walking jacket. If yon can please bring a hat and waterproof over trousers, we may be able to lend you some clothes!
