Steps to fitness walk
For those recovering from illness, injury, or surgery
What Makes This Walk Special
We understand that getting back to walking after a health setback can feel daunting. That's why we created this gentle, supportive walk where you can rebuild your fitness at your own pace.
Your Own Leader
Dedicated walk leader focused on your group, providing encouragement and ensuring your safety throughout. This is a shorter distance and slower pace than our main walk. Stop and rest whenever you need.
Where & When:
Monday to Friday @ 9:30am
30-45 minutes of walking at a slower pace
Sandhurst Memorial Car Park, under the big tree
Arrive a few minutes early on your first visit for a quick registration.
What to expect : Mostly even ground with some natural paths, though you'll encounter natural features like tree roots and stumps. After rain, unpaved sections can become muddy and slippery.
We recommend:
- Comfortable walking shoes or boots (waterproof in wet weather)
- Weather-appropriate clothing
- Water bottle
- Cash or card for optional post-walk refreshments
Before joining, please ensure:
- You have permission from your healthcare professional to participate
- You can walk unaided or with a walking stick
This walk supports your recovery journey but does not replace any programme recommended by your healthcare provider.
After the Walk
Join us for optional refreshments at Sandhurst Park Cafe. It's a lovely chance to relax, chat, and get to know your fellow walkers. Bring cash or card if you'd like to join us!
Weather Updates
We walk in most weather conditions! If there are any cancellations due to severe weather or flooding, we'll post updates on our Facebook page.
