Weymouth Health Walks

There are two health walks in Weymouth, both of which are mostly flat.

The route is agreed at the start of each walk and depends on the abilities and preferences of those attending.

All abilities are welcome. Walkers can move at different paces, and there is no pressure to keep up. no one is ever left behind, as the pace of the walk is determined by the person at the back of the group.

Walks last approximately 45 minutes.

Dogs may be permitted at the discretion of the walk leader. Contact the local organiser before attending with a dog.

Date	Location	Walk description
Tuesday 20 October	We will be meeting near the brick building at the Park & Ride (the post code is DT3 5HJ), just up the road from Sainsbury's. There is free parking and it is on bus route no. 2.	We will walk past the rugby club and part of Lodmoor Country Park, returning via the path through RSPB Lodmoor with the best viewing points, so do bring binoculars if you have them! The walk will be on flat paths with tarmac or gravel surfaces. No mud is expected but there is always a chance of puddles and showers so, as ever, please wear suitable footwear and clothing. The likely duration is 80 to 90 minutes depending on our pace on the day. We will take a midway rest stop where there are benches and viewing points.

Health questionnaire

If you are a new walker to the Weymouth health walk scheme, we ask that you complete an annual Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire on arrival. Please allow an extra 10 minutes to complete the form. We ask you to complete this once a year or if your health condition changes.
