Walking
When: 1st Friday of month, 10.00 am
Where: Various.
The walks are at a gentle pace and around 5-6.5 miles in length. There are often short cuts back to the start for the less energetic. We aim to start and finish at a pub or cafe where members may like to talk over lunch. Wear stout footwear.

Research Project
WHAT MAKES IT EASIER FOR PEOPLE OVER 65 TO REGULARLY WALK?
RESEARCH STUDY
WHAT IS THE STUDY ABOUT?
I am looking for people to interview on the telephone for between 20 minutes and an hour to look at why some people walk regularly and others might find it difficult. At the moment, there is no suitable questionnaire that assesses how people over 65 feel about walking, so the research will eventually produce one, with the help of people such as yourself.
WHO CAN TAKE PART?
If you are 65 or older and are physically able to walk then you might be eligible to participate in the study. Unfortunately, if you have a diagnosed neurological condition then you will not be eligible to participate.
WHAT NEXT?
If you are interested in participating, please contact me at the e-mail address below. I will then send you more information about the research.
Thank you for your time!
