Carers walk report

Motivated by a Dog

CARERS WALK

We expect to see sun, sea and sand at Barry Island on the Carers walk….so were surprised to see an arthritic spaniel exercising his legs by swimming around Whitmore Bay. Inspired and motivated by the dog, we doggedly strolled around both headlands on a calm, chilly winter’s day. Our new walker was welcomed to the group and tucked into a delicious ice cream at the end!

 

Intrepid Group Of Walkers

CARERS WALK

 

Rain greeted the intrepid group of walkers for the Carers stroll as they gathered at Barry Island station, but the grey clouds departed and left amazingly blue skies over the sea and sand. Brave swimmers in wild seas could be seen from our viewpoint above the sea, but no walkers were tempted to dive in! Well done everyone for surviving the blustery conditions! Join us: in sun, wind, rain…and snow in 2023!!!

 

Intrepid Band of Strollers

CARERS WALK

An  intrepid  Band of strollers  Enjoyed an invigorating  walk around Nell’s point to  Jackson’s bay. Hot chocolate was the  drink of choice for many at the end of the  walk, but one brave walker enjoyed a large scoop of salted caramel ice cream…!!

 

Join Us On Our Next Walk

CARERS WALK

What are some of the strollers on the carers walk looking at? The grey sky, turning black, then blue and white? The biggest sandcastle ever built on Barry Island? The swimmers splashing about in the calm sea? The patterns created in the sand by the tractor as it cleans the beach every morning?

You will have to join us on our next walk to find out…..a clue, four legs are involved!

Walk at Barry Island

CARERS WALK

21 walkers joined the Carers walk at Barry Island today, including 2 new strollers to Valeways. Sunshine, fabulous views, chatting to fellow walkers and chocolates from Kath, who was celebrating her 78th birthday, encouraged the walkers to reach the ice creams on offer at the completion of the walk

International Friendship Day

CARERS WALK

With International Friendship Day designated by the UN as 30th July, it was wonderful to celebrate it with the Carers walk around Barry Island. Everyone needs friends, including Carers, and it was lovely to see everyone mingling, chatting and just enjoying themselves. Did the walkers find time to admire the pristine Whitmore beach, the Burnet moths or the cliffs at Jacksons Bay….maybe not, but being with, and enjoying the company of friends is part of the joy of this walk
