WALKING WELL CARMARTHENSHIRE
Walking Well Carmarthenshire is an initiative which aims to encourage people of all ages and abilities to take advantage of the physical, social and mental health benefits offered by walking in groups of like-minded people. It does this by setting up walking groups around the County. Walking Well groups fill in gaps that exist in the availability of walking opportunities in Carmarthenshire. Walks are designed to suit the abilities of the members and usually start as strolls, moving on to gentle walks as fitness levels improve.
We’re not Ramblers, however, as walkers get more experienced, they may also wish to participate in the more serious walks offered by them and others. This is completely optional, and all are welcome to stay with their Walking Well group for as long as they wish. Walking Well Groups are open to everyone who wishes to attend, just be follow the individual walk instructions. Each Group is led by a Group Leader who is assisted by a number walk leaders. All group and walk leaders are trained in leading the walks and have completed a basic First Aid Course. The project continues to be developed and is always looking for volunteer walk and group leaders as well as walkers!
