Improve your fitness, make new friends and enjoy your local area. We have walks for all ages and abilities during the daytime, evening and also at weekends. We now have over 350 people a week "Walking for Health" in Basingstoke and the surrounding areas - do join us!
Our walks
We have daytime walks every weekday and a very popular Wednesday evening walk for those who like a faster walk. We also have longer walks at weekends once or twice a month.
