Walk, Talk and trying new things.
If you feel that your stuck up a tree, then please come for a walk with me. Walking is good for our minds, bodies, wellbeing and it all starts with one step at a time. Our walk and talk group is about getting away from the weight of the world and having a moment to refresh ourselves.
Thursday saw our walkers out in Wibsey Park. The group met at the bench by the lake/ entrance gate and started with a gentle walk around the lake. Whilst out walking we noticed some of the wildlife and trees etc. We fed the different birds in the lake with seed purchased from the café Scrap Magic, as we know bread is no good for them.
The group decided walking wasn’t enough and tried out the exercise machines with hesitation but soon realised that it was fun and lots of laughs. The group agreed that they wouldn't have used the machines when they were on their own, but being together gave them the confidence to have a try.
We stopped at the café for a cuppa and a loo break and said hello to Stan the local cat. PURRFECT! Lynn shared her treats with passing dogs and friendly Cat Stan.
We walked a gentle 1 and half miles altogether with with a lot of chatter and laughter.
If you interested in joining us the group is open to all abilities, call into the centre or give us a ring on 07592003595.

A snippet of local history for you about Wibsey -
“
Wibsey Park was built on Wibsey Slack. The area was to be enclosed by the lords of the manor in 1881, but a local councillor, Enoch Priestley, fought against this for the rights of the local people. The land was saved, and the park opened on 25 May 1885.”
