Stepping out for health is back on the cards, as Wigton Medical Practice has announced plans to restart a walking group.

The Walking for Health group is expected to begin again on April 19 and will continue each Monday at 1.30pm.

A spokesman for the practice said: “We are keen to restart our Walking for Health groups in this glorious spring sunshine.

“We appreciate many people may feel they need a gentle start, so we plan to circuit Wigton’s local football pitch and potentially nearby Phoenix Park if walkers would like a change of scene.

“We have chosen these open spaces because although they are popular with dog walkers, they allow us to maintain social distancing safely.

“We hope in time to return to more picturesque locations.”

Social distancing guidelines of 2m will be followed.
