Overview

Unwind from the daily stresses of the office/family etc with a short, circular walk around the City Centre.

As the evenings get longer enjoy a gentle 3.5 mile walk.  We will head out east towards the hythe and come back via Old Heath Recreation Ground.

There's an optional drink at the end.

This is a WalkMyWay walk.  Short, introductory walks encouraging people to relax and join in in their own area.  After a day's work, group walking is a great way to de-stress and meet new people.

My walks will be in the Colchester area, usually Wednesday evenings around 7.  So keep an eye out.  We are hoping to create different walking hubs around the county as momentum builds.

WalkMyWay walks are also a good introduction to walk leading.  If you have a walk you know and love that you would like to lead, anywhere in Essex, contact walks@hikeessex.org.uk.  We can support you all the way.
