Elmbridge Wellbeing Walks July 2021 timetable

Our walks are affiliated to Ramblers Wellbeing Walks (formerly Walking for Health).

Please note that walks no longer need to be booked in advance – unless specifically stated beside the walk on the timetable. Please just turn up, ensuring you arrive in good time as all walks will leave at the advertised time.

If you will be walking with us for the first time, please arrive 10 minutes before the walk start time and bring your own pen, as you will be required to fill in a new walker registration form. Please ensure you are wearing suitable footwear / clothing for the weather and bring your own water.

If you require any further information on the program please contact the Sport and Health office via the email [email protected] or on 01372 474574 (during office hours).
