Now spring is finally here and the days are lengthening, walking is just the ticket to improve or regain your fitness.

Get set for a New Starters Health Walk by exploring the Connaught Water area off Rangers Road in Chingford.

Walk leader and Epping Forest Information Assistant, Julie Cottrell, said: “We are starting a new 30 minute walk, to be held every four weeks at Connaught Water aimed at people new to walking, wanting to improve or regain fitness. Designed to be an introduction to the activity, we hope it will act as a stepping stone to our regular weekly Thursday Health Walks.“

The first New Starters Health Walk is on Monday 13 April at 10.30am. Meet at the Connaught Water car park, Rangers Road, Chingford.

Other 2015 diary dates for the New Starters Health Walk, all starting at 10.30am from Connaught Water, are: 11 May, 8 June, 6 July, 3 August, 31 August, 28 September, 26 October, 23 November, 21 December.
