The Ramblers Wellbeing Walks in Medway (also known as Medway Health Walks) invite you along to one of our regular walks across the Medway Towns.
To help walk leaders and walkers achieve a safe and enjoyable walk, we ask that participants respect any guidelines or pre-planned routes that have already been mapped, walked and risk assessed to ensure the most positive experience.
We also have a number of visitors who come to Medway and join our walks to learn new areas that they can return to in their own time.
Our walks are designed to support those who need to move a little more to benefit their health whilst enabling them to enjoy their local area with the company of others.
When a walk has no walk leader, then we advise you go for a walk yourself so you do not miss out.
First timers will be asked to complete a registration form / details via the walk leader.
Walkers may be told about key areas along the route and any hazards that may be present to the group.
All our led walking routes are risk assessed and although steep hills, steps and very muddy/slippery surfaces are avoided, walkers should be prepared for hills that are relevant to the level of walking, uneven surfaces and slippery terrain.
Grade 3: Suitable for people who walk regular for up to an hour. Grade 3 walks focus on building walking time and fitness. Walks will be around 60 minutes and may include some moderate slopes, steps and uneven surfaces.
Grade 5 (Get Active): Suitable for people who walk with trekking poles or pole equipment and are looking for more challenging walks to help progress your walking fitness to a level beyond the Medway Health Walks. Walks are around 90 minutes of walking time and will include slopes that will be challenging, including some wintery mud sections. The walks may also be at a slightly quicker pace than usual.
