Take a walk in West Moors!

A new weekly health walk is about to start in West Moors near Wimborne. This takes the number of regular volunteer-led walks in the area to ten, involving over 120 local residents in regular, weekly exercise.
 
The free walks are all part of Activate 1000, a campaign designed to encourage more local people to take part in active leisure in East Dorset. Organised by Karl Prince, Healthy Lifestyle Ranger at Moors Valley Country Park, a whole range of activities are available under the scheme including yoga, cycling, Nordic walking and women’s running.
 
“The new health walk at West Moors is the latest in an increasing number of free or subsidised activities now taking place across the area,” said Karl. “There really is something to suit every age and ability and taking part is a great way to ease into a regular healthy exercise routine and meet new friends.”
 
The weekly West Moors health walk launches on Thursday 22 October. It then takes place every Thursday from 10am – 11am, (meet 9.50am) and runs from the Elephant and Castle Pub on Station Road.
