Walking Group
Poole Heart Support Group Walking Group
PHSG is a Member of the British Heart Foundation Independent Heart Support Network
and affiliated to Arrhythmia Alliance – The Heart Rhythm Charity
The Walking Group is open to all PHSG members and has been in existence since 1997. It aims to develop wellbeing both physically and mentally by being outside in the natural environment and to promote new friendships and camaraderie.
If you would like any further information or fancy joining a walk, please get in touch by selecting the ‘Walking Group’ option on the Contact Us page
Walks are held every 10 days on alternate Wednesdays and Saturdays and are organised by Walking Group members who endeavour to source walks that suit all the walking members requirements.
Each walk allows for those who are able to walk up to 3 miles at a standard pace and also for those who prefer to walk around 1 mile at a slower pace.
The walks do not involve steep hills or tricky stiles and help is always at hand if required. Walking is at a pace that allows time to stop to admire views, observe the wonders of nature and enjoy bird song.
Lunch afterwards at a nearby pub adds a bit of incentive!

NEXT WALK – Wednesday 14th October, 10:30am
Bere Heath
The walk is on Bere Heath. It is reasonably flat with some inclines and mainly on gravel tracks. Some areas could be wet if we have had rain. There is suitable walking in the vicinity for the short walk
The walk starts from the car park on Sugar Hill, a road that runs from Wareham to the A35 near Bere Regis.
On the A35 from Poole drive towards Bere Regis. Turn left at the junction (Signposted Wareham 6) which is about a mile before Bere Regis. The car park is about 1.25 miles on the left hand side of Sugar Hill or about 4.75 miles from Wareham The car park Grid Reference is SY 88049 92625, BH20 7EU, slyly.riot.crescendo.
The entrance to the car park is narrow but there is another easier but smaller parking area about 100 yds further down the road.
Lunch is at The Angel (ex The Silent Woman) on Sugar Hill near Wareham BH20 7PA. It opens at 09.00 if anyone wants a coffee. Lunch is booked for 12.45 but they seem relaxed about timing and numbers.
