Criteria
All schemes fulfilling 3 main criteria are eligible for
accreditation:
-
Offering
led health walks for beginners (these need to be reasonably
flat walks with no stiles that last under one hour)
-
Meeting
WHI safety and insurance standards for all walks
-
Collecting basic monitoring information.
CREW
has
7 trained Health Walk Leaders. Dependant on the walk we will either split in to 2 walks
and have a Walk Leader at the front and rear of each group or
have one group with Walk Leaders at
the front and rear and mixed in the main body.
NOTE: All new
walkers have to register and declare their fitness to walk for
insurance purposes. If you have any doubt please contact your
doctor before coming on a walk.
Family and
friends are welcome. Suitable clothing and footwear should be
worn. Any specific medication should be brought with you and
advised to the Walk Leader before the start of the walk. There
is no charge and we normally have lunch at the end of the walks.
The current programme is below.
BRIGHOUSE SUMMER / AUTUMN HEALTH WALKS
The Saturday Health Walks continue to offer a varied and well
supported programme. With the winter months upon us again we
need to be careful to use the safer pathways saving the more
ambitious walks for later in the year. We offer extended walks
to those capable of approaching slightly more demanding routes
but we are proud of our support for anyone who is just starting
or returning to exercise and who therefore needs to take things
slowly.
Please note that bus timetables can alter. We will do our best
to inform you of any changes. Starter HEALTH WALKS
are level or downhill and have no obstacles.
All starter Health Walks will start from
Brighouse Bus Station. Meeting 10.45 for already enrolled
walkers. They must be of no more than an hour’s duration. Detail
will be added later (Please note that bus timetables can alter.
We will try to notify you of any changes).
