9 walkers and Millie the dog enjoyed a short walk in the sunshine this morning. The group have decided for the time being we will do the same walk each week until members of the group feel they can tackle a more challenging walk. After the walk we enjoyed refreshments in Bernies. The main focus of the group is to enjoy a social walk whilst supporting each other in get stronger. The star of the day has to be Roberta who has not been out of the house much lately and who completed the walk with her trustee shopping trolley. With support two of the group acted as the walk leaders . So all in all a very successful morning.
