Valeways Guided Walks

GUIDED WALKS

The Guided Walks programme organised by Valeways started again on 9th August. All government guidelines regarding Covid 19 and walking safely will be followed, so walkers can once again enjoy a safe walk in the countryside in good company.

Valeways is an independent volunteer run charity created to promote health and well being through walking and proxies guided walks for all ages and abilities.

The full and varied programme of walks for August and September can be found on the Valeways website.

As a Valeways walk leader (you may have read about my adventures in previous editions of What’s On.), I offer two walks:-

  • Living with Cancer Strollers, the first Thursday of every month at 10.30am, meeting at Cosmeston Information centre
  • Carers walk, the last Thursday of every month at 10.30am, meeting outside Barry Island train station

All are welcome to both walks. If you walked regularly during lockdown and want to meet a friendly, sociable group of people for a walk and a chat…..please, join us.

 

 

A Stroll Around Barry Island.

A Stroll Around Barry Island.

February’s Carers walk welcomed 2 new carers (photo-shy!) to the regular stroll around Barry Island. The two new members of the group welcomed the opportunity to take a break from their caring activities and gave them a chance to take some personal time, exercise and chat. Alan, a regular walker said he never realised how important it was to have a little time out from caring, and thoroughly enjoys his monthly strolls. If you are a carer and would like some time out to regenerate, then meet us at Barry Island train station on the last Thursday of every month at 10.30am. We are a friendly group!

The Valeways Walking Organisation has cancelled their walking programme for March and April, due to the coronavirus. Hopefully the Living with Cancer Strollers and the Carers walks will resume soon.
