Feeling Fitter31 Annive h rs t 2001-2016 a 5 r 1 y July to December 2016 Feeling Fitter 31 part of Renfrewshire Walking Network Wednesday and Community Walks around Renfrewshire In association with Why Should I Go Walking? Walking is a great way to stay healthy and benefits are plentiful. Below are a few of the benefits that you can expect to gain by maintaining a level of walking which suits your ability. • Helps control weight • Builds and maintains healthy bones, muscles and joints • Improves the function of your heart and lungs • Relaxes you • Reduces signs of stress and anxiety • Gives you more energy • Reduces high blood pressure and cholesterol • Increases self confidence • Keeps the brain active Why not build up your walking programme If you are starting out on your first walk build up your fitness gradually and join one of the many health walks in your local community, meet lots of new friends and chat while the miles disappear and before you know, it’s time for a well earned cuppa, whilst reflecting on your morning’s exercise. Next on the programme is Level 1A which is slightly longer than your health walk but you know you are ready for the challenge! Moving on to Level 1B which is slightly more adventurous than the last level, incorporating more inclines and walking for a slightly longer distance. Last level on the Renfrewshire Walking Network programme is Level 2 which incorporates all levels adding in rougher ground, longer time and distance walking but just as enjoyable with lots of company along the way! So whatever level you start at there is a walking group in Renfrewshire for you. Welcome Let me introduce you to Feeling Fitter 31! I’m thrilled to offer you another exciting programme which hopefully will give you hours of happy walking and socialising. As always please look out for and support the special events as they happen through the year. At The Renfrewshire Walking Network we take pride in our working partnerships which have strengthened through the years and I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved: The fantastic Volunteer Walk Leaders who give up their valuable time and without whom we wouldn’t have a successful programme. The Renfrewshire Walking Network Committee who work behind the scenes securing funds to enable to programme to operate Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park Rangers who share their wealth of knowledge with us Forestry Commission who are a valuable partner to the Network The Community Mental Health team who help us make a difference! Not forgetting the many organisations and partners who have funded us through the years and support the walking programme in its many forms from low level walks to community events. The Renfrewshire Walking Network is supported by Renfrewshire Leisure. I hope you enjoy Feeling Fitter 31.

  • Aircraft Crashes in and Around Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park Last Update 2013 Tel 01505 842 803
    Aircraft Crashes In and Around Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park Introduction About twenty aircraft crashed in what is now Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park between 1938 and 1958. A number of factors have to be taken into consideration when attempting to explain this unusually high number of accidents. Human error invariably played a part, but bad weather, particularly heavy mist, was usually a contributory cause. Many of the stricken aircraft were travelling to or from Renfrew Airport, and in these cases the proximity of hills up to 1600 feet in height was a critical factor. Obviously the navigational equipment in use during this period was not as sophisticated as it is now. There is also the theory that the mineral deposits in the area affected the relatively primitive navigational equipment of the time.

    22_578626 ch15.qxd 3/14/05 10:03 AM Page 283 Chapter 15 Ayrshire and Argyll In This Chapter ᮣ Getting to Ayrshire and Argyll ᮣ Seeking out the best places to stay and eat ᮣ Discovering the Burns Heritage Trail, Culzean Castle, the Isle of Arran, and more ᮣ Hittin’ the links in Troon and Turnberry ᮣ Shopping for local goodies and finding the best pubs he region of Ayshire stretches from the southern and western Tfringes of Glasgow south to southwest along the Firth of Clyde. Argyll covers the southwestern islands and western peninsulas of Scotland. While Ayrshire boundaries are well marked, Argyll is a bit more amorphous, encompassing a region that historically stretches into the Highlands. One of Ayrshire’s primary attractions is “Burns Country,” because the area was the poet Robert Burns’s birthplace as well as his predominant stomping grounds for most of his life. But Ayrshire also offers golfers some of the best links courses in the world. If you take the train from Glasgow to Ayr, the main town of Ayrshire, you can see one course after another in the sandy dunes along the shoreline. Argyll, which means the “coast of the Gaels,” encompasses islands such as Bute and Arran as well as the more remote Kintyre Peninsula. Kintyre is so sufficiently isolated that ex-Beatle Paul McCartney has long owned a ranch there where he and his family can retreat from prying eyes. It takes the better part of the day just to reach Kintyre, however, so I don’t dwellCOPYRIGHTED on its charms for too long in this MATERIAL chapter.
