Autumn Walk Well Programme Launched

A new programme of twice-weekly health walks for the Autumn begins in Taunton this week.

It’s part of the Walk Well in Taunton initiative which encourages local people to become more active, more often. Tone Leisure supports it in partnership with Taunton Deane Borough Council,

The organised walks are aimed at those who are new to walking to help them to improve their health and give them the opportunity to meet people.

Walks last between 35 and 60 minutes and take place on Wednesdays and Fridays at 10:15. They begin from various meeting points in Taunton. Monthly longer walks of 2 – 2.5 hours duration called Walk Well Plus are also in the schedule, and are aimed at those who have a good level of fitness.

Walk Well in Taunton is contributing to the Soul Walks Initiative again this year with four Soul Walks scheduled into the programme to coincide with World Mental Health Day on Saturday 10th October 2009. Soul Walks are health walks with some additional features that promote mental well-being for everyone.
