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 25th February 10:30am

Tarrant Rushton Airfield.

It could be cold and wet, so make sure you dress for the weather.

Directions:

Take the B3082 between Wimborne and Blandford. In Tarrant Keyneston, at the True Lover’s Knot pub turn towards Tarrant Rushton. Follow the road’s twists and turns, sign posted Witchampton for about 2.5 miles, go past the Tarrant Rushton Farm Shop bearing right uphill and keep going.   At a left hand corner, a bungalow called Windy Corner will be on your left and the War Memorial will be straight ahead of you. Parking will be through the gate ahead to the right for PHSG group ONLY.  The gate will be unlocked and there is plenty of hard standing for parking and walking.

Lunch is booked at the True Lover’s Knot – three in a row – sorry, but limited choice at short notice.

Any problems, please get in touch with the walk leader or send a message via the ‘Walking Group’ option on the Contact Us page.
