Walking is almost perfect exercise, requiring no expense, almost anyone can do it, it can be done anywhere at any time, it is the best way for people from all walks of life to become more active gradually. All you need are a good pair of shoes, that are comfortable, provide good support and don’t cause blisters. Loose fitting clothing allows you to move more freely. Wear thin layers rather than heavy clothing. If it’s a hot day take a bottle of water.

Due to the terrain around the East Riding, some walks will not be suitable for wheelchair users and buggies. If you would like to come on a walk and are in a wheelchair please contact the Healthy Lifestyles Development Officer to check to see whether the walk is accessible.

No need to book, just turn up 15 minutes before the walk starts.

Please contact the walk leader beforehand to check. If a dog is allowed on the walks they must be on a short lead that won’t trip up any fellow walkers.

The Walking for Health scheme around the East Riding simply wouldn’t exist without our wonderful volunteers. Volunteering for East Riding’s Walking for Health scheme can be a great experience. If you’d like to volunteer on one of our Health Walks then please get in touch. The scheme coordinator will then be able to let you know about the processes for training and how it could benefit you.
