ALL WALKS: JUL-SEP 2014
The GO50 programme aims to introduce people in the 50+ age group to a healthier lifestyle
and the benefits of regular exercise. Walking or cycling with others - socialising as you exercise adds significantly to the beneficial effects. Regular exercise can: improve balance and flexibility; lower
blood pressure; defend against heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes; help maintain cognitive
function; reduce depression and anxiety. GO50 activities are free, but a donation is very welcome. We
suggest a donation of £2 per person. If you are a taxpayer, we can reclaim the tax on your donations at
no extra cost to you, as long as we have your signature and permission to claim Gift Aid. Ask the leader
for details. No advanced booking required - just turn up at the start and join in. GO50 activities are led
by experienced volunteers who will meet you at the start and lead the way. Please wear walking boots or
other suitable footwear. All walks cross stiles unless otherwise noted. Bring water & a snack. No children
or dogs, please. Use pub car parks only if you intend to use the pub afterwards. Please be aware of your
own fitness levels and, if in doubt, consult your doctor before starting a new exercise programme.
Postcodes given are nearest available to the start and may not correspond to the exact starting point. (T)
indicates accessible by public transport. Travel information available from Traveline on 08712002233. In
the event of extreme weather, phone the GO50 office before setting off. Leaders reserve the right to
cancel an activity if they feel that it is unsafe to proceed. We recommend that all participants carry
contact details with them in case of emergency.
WEEKLY WALKS
Our weekly walks are ideal for people who would like to improve their health by increasing
their physical activity levels. Participants are encouraged to walk at a pace that suits them.
The walks last for 1-1¼ hours and are free. No booking is required.

GO50 walks are between 2½ - 5½ miles in length. To estimate the duration allow ½ hour per mile.
For walkers who want more of a challenge, GO FURTHER walks range from 6 - 11 miles in length, are
likely to be steep in places and will be taken at a faster pace than GO50 walks - so you will need to be fit!

forget to bring water & food.
