💚 September is Su***de Awareness Month 💚

Looking after our mental health ❤️ is just as important as looking after our physical health 💪. Going for a walk 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️with others can be a simple but powerful way to boost your mood, reduce stress and anxiety, and enjoy some much-needed connection. A chat 🗣, a laugh 😂 and a bit of fresh air can make a real difference — and sometimes simply being there for someone matters more than we realise. So, let’s keep walking, keep talking and keep looking out for one another.

Our Fabulous Friday walkers 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️ would agree that a walk and a natter around the racecourse, in the fresh air, sets them up for the day.

There may not have been many of us today, but we still had a good chat and a laugh and we all felt better for it at the end ❤️

Why not take that first step 👣 and join one of our friendly walking groups next week.

● Monday at 6.30pm opposite Asda in Pontefract
● Tuesday at 6.30pm behind Featherstone Library/Community Centre car park
● Friday at 9.30am in front of Huggamug at the pavilion behind the racecourse

Now that schools are back, holidays are over 😥, people are getting back into routines, it was lovely to see some familiar faces back for our walk 🚶‍♀️ 🚶‍♂️in Featherstone last night.

We are making the most of the light nights whilst we can, so headed off road over "The Stacks" - though we went the opposite way to usual which caused a little confusion for the leaders 🤔

It felt a little cool to start with, but we soon warmed up, and as usual, there was lots to talk about.

If you've been thinking of joining us, why not take that first step 👣 next week. 💯 percent guarantee you won't regret it ❤️.

We are making the most of the off road walking before the autumn nights draw in. These people never fail to lighten the stresses and strains of life. Until next week.

Thanks to Alison for the route suggestion, to Di and Anne for leading and to Di for the route log.

Tuesday Walking Group - All Welcome! 🚶🏻‍♂️🚶🏽‍♀️

As Summer ☀️ is coming to an end, and the darker nights 🌠 are getting closer, why not start to make some healthy changes now before Winter ❄️ sets in.

We take in the sights of Featherstone, walking for around an hour, and the route 🗺 differs every week - see below for photos of recent routes we have taken. Whilst the nights are still light, we try to head out into the surrounding beautiful countryside 🌳🌿🌳.

⏰ We meet at 6.30pm

It’s 💯 FREE!!

It was a blustery morning 💨 , but the rain 🌧held off, for our Fabulous Friday walkers on their walk around the racecourse.

There was plenty of chatter 🗣 and laughs 🤣 as usual from this friendly bunch.

We stopped off at the pond on the way round so Treena could feed the ducks 🦆. It was here that we met our newest member - Gilbert the Goose 🪿 (Mr Google thinks he is a Greylag goose).

Gilbert was eager to join us for a chat, posed for our usual group photo and then walked with us back to the main path! See you next week Gilbert 😂

Why not join us next Friday, or if you can't make it, we have evening walks on Mondays (6.30pm at Asda in Pontefract) and Tuesdays (6.30pm behind Featherstone Library).
