There are two health walks in Weymouth which are mostly flat.
The route taken on the day is agreed at the beginning of the walk and is dependent on the ability and preference of those attending.
All abilities are welcome and the walk can stretch out to different paces. There is no pressure and no one is ever left behind as the pace of the walk is dictated by the rear walker. Our walks last approximately 45 minutes.
Dogs on a discretionary basis, please get in touch with the local contact before attending.

Monthly longer walk
On the third Tuesday of the month there is a longer walk of up to four miles. The walks start at 2pm. The start location changes each month. Duration is approximately 80 to 90 minutes. The walk will include non-pavement paths and through fields, so please wear appropriate footwear.
Date | Location | Walk description |
---|---|---|
Tuesday 15 October | Brick building at the Park and Ride (near Sainsburys) |
The walk will be on flat paths with tarmac or gravel surfaces - no mud expected but always a chance of puddles and showers at this time of year, so as ever, please wear suitable footwear & clothing! The likely duration is 80 - 90 minutes depending on our pace on the day - we will take a mid-way rest stop where there are benches & viewing points. Our walk leaders are Steve and myself. |
Health questionnaire
If you are a new walker to the 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.
