Health

If you feel that 20k (around 12.5 miles) is too far, we can assure you that the
walk is relatively flat and undemanding. Anyone with a reasonable degree of fitness and who walks at a reasonable pace should be able to complete the
walk without difficulty.

However, don’t forget that there are shorter walks available.
It’s a fact! Walking for half an hour 5 times a week is enough to:

Halve the risk of coronary heart disease

Improve co-ordination, flexibility, stamina and energy

Reduce the chance of developing Type II diabetes

Cut the risk of suffering a stroke by one third

Maintain weight loss

Ease depression and anxiety
