Walk Description:

A varied walk taking in some of the woodlands in and around Valley Park.  Despite being on the borders of the housing estate, for much of the walk we feel deep in the countryside!

Discover the borders of the Valley Park, with its woods and rural views, the traditional english woodlands right in the middle of it, and the streams and tributaries of the Monk's Brook.  

This is a reasonably flat route, although there are a mix of terrains - trails, gravel paths, some shared foot/cycle paths and some residential roads.  

Please bring paws so we can be considerate to residents and other path users when walking on tarmac.

Toilet facilities are available at the Cleveland Bay pub (Opens at 12 noon), where we can have refreshments/lunch after the walk.

As part of our 10th Year celebrations, we’re excited to bring back the 1-Mile Time Trial.

This is a straightforward route, repeated once a month, making it a great way to track your progress. We’ll begin with a warm-up and a clear introduction to the course. We’ll all start together as a group, then simply walk at the fastest pace you comfortably can.

Your time will be recorded to give you a personal target to aim for next time. This isn’t about competing with anyone else; it’s about challenging yourself and seeing how far you can progress. It’s a fantastic way to stay motivated and build speed and confidence.

The route is around the block so you won’t get lost, and we’ll finish with a group stretch.

The session takes place after Friday Fitties. You’re welcome to do both sessions or just come along for the time trial.

Give it a go, you might surprise yourself.
