Weekly Walks GO50 WALK PROGRAMME Guided outdoor activities for the 50 plus age group WALKING IN AND AROUND SURREY PROGRAMME October – December 2019 The GO50 programme aims to introduce people in the 50+ age group to a healthier lifestyle and the benefits of regular exercise. Walking with others - socialising as you exercise - adds significantly to the beneficial effects. Regular exercise can: improve balance and flexibility; lower blood pressure; defend against heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes; help maintain cognitive function; reduce depression and anxiety. We suggest a donation of £2 per person. If you are a taxpayer, we can reclaim the tax on your donations at no extra cost to you, as long as we have your signature and permission to claim Gift Aid. Ask the leader for details. No advanced booking required - just turn up at the start and join in. GO50 activities are led by experienced volunteers who will meet you at the start and lead the way. Please wear walking boots or other suitable footwear. All walks cross stiles unless otherwise noted. Bring water & a snack. No children or dogs, please. Use pub car parks only if you intend to use the pub afterwards. Please be aware of your own fitness levels and, if in doubt, consult your doctor before starting a new exercise programme. Postcodes given are nearest available to the start and may not correspond to the exact starting point. (T) indicates accessible by public transport. Travel information is available from Traveline on 0871 200 2233 or www.traveline.info GO50 Health Walks are shorter walks more accessible to beginners run by Age UK Surrey and supported by the national Walking for Health programme.

This walk comes out of the woodland to give you views of the North Downs, visits a star village for refreshments (ring 01306 730851 to enquire at the Hurtwood Inn ) and returns to the deep woods with high views to the south. ? There are one or two patches of nettles and brambles on this walk in summer when wearing shorts might be unwise. A number of mountain ? bikers use the bridle paths and churn up the ground in a few places after rain when you may be glad of boots. Apart from that, any kind of attire and sensible footwear should be fine. There is one short steep section where you may wish for a walking pole. This walk is perfect for your dog.
