September Walk

 

Wellies or sandals? Sun hats or bobble hats? T shirts or woolly jumpers?

These were some of the decisions the Living with Cancer Strollers had to wrestle with prior to August's monthly walk, since the weather had been unpredictable in the days before. Luckily, the sun shone, as it always seems to do on the first Thursday of the month!

The strollers welcomed some new members and for this August stroll the group ranged in age from 2 years to 80 years. We are truly inclusive! The two year olds were helped on their way, and did stop off in the park, but everyone else completed the walk around the two lakes.

Some visitors from Cairo encouraged people to remember their holidays in Egypt. Hips, knees, feet and other body parts were also topics of conversation! As you can see in the photos, lots of talking goes on with the walking!!

The cafe was a welcome resting place and a chance to refuel after all the calories burned up on the walk!

Join us in September. Cosmeston at 10:30. All ages welcome!

 

 

The Anniversary Walk

 

July's stroll was a special event. It was the anniversary walk as the group has been meeting, strolling, chatting and drinking coffee for a year. To celebrate this, Bethan made cup cakes. The group enjoyed the refreshments BEFORE the walk to store up enough energy to get around the lakes in the intense sunshine!

Three new people joined the stroll in July. Hopefully they will return for the August walk: even though no cakes are promised as they are only available on anniversaries!

Cosmeston in the sun is a truly splendid place. We managed to keep in the shade for most of the walk, and enjoyed the birds on the two lakes.

If you would like to join us in August, just turn up at Cosmeston Information Centre at 10:30am, on the first Thursday of the month. We are really friendly!

 

 

June Walk

 

The sun was shining. The sky was blue. The grey clouds had passed by. The strollers had gathered at the Cosmeston information centre…….it must be the first Thursday of the month and time for the living with cancer strollers to have a gentle walk, around the lake.

June's walk was completed in ideal sunny conditions. The orchids were blooming across the fields and were a splendid sight. Ducks and swans swam serenely across the lake.

The benefits of exercise for an individual's health and wellbeing are well known and walking is a particularly gentle exercise which is suitable for all ages. Add in some chat and a coffee and you have a recipe for an excellent morning's outing!

We welcomed a new walker in June and we hope more people may be tempted to join us for July's stroll :10:30 at Cosmeston on the first Thursday.

 

 

Strolling in The Arctic

The Beast from the East did not deter the who battled through the snow on St David's Day. The walks always take place on the first Thursday of every month at Cosmeston Park at 10:30am. This was the strollers first experience of strolling in the snow, as up to this date, the group have basked in the sun as they walked around the lakes and through the woods. Hopefully, next month's walk will see a return to warmer weather. Join us if you want some gentle exercise, a chat in good company and refreshments in the café afterwards!
