Hi Hazel,

Think the idea of starting a walking club is an excellent one.
I started walking 'seriously' when I had to take early retirement through ill health four years ago.... I haven't looked back.
I looked for others to walk with, preferably ladies, and used another site to do this but with little success as those who were interested were all far flung!

I then joined a Ramblers group who were great but walking with 30 or so people each week did not do it for me!

Then found we had an Over 50's walking group in our village which I joined and now lead walks several times a year with them - the only difficulty with this lovely group is that because of the age of some of our group, we have to keep the distance to 5 miles or under

I am planning to walk Hadrian's Wall at some point, hopefully this year, and have done two walking holidays to date - one in the Lakes and one in Umbria, Italy.

Would love to join the Ribbon Walk as volunteer at our local Cancer Shop and this would be the next step ( no pun intended!)

I hope ladies who live in my area will come forward as I would love to walk with others, longer distances.
Hope this is more successful than our Supper Club as to date there are only three of us!!!!!
By the way, thought your planning to prepare for the walk was excellent.

Best wishes
Charlotte
