Stroll with It Arran! Walks in November
Here is an update from Arran Eco Savvy on the Stroll with It Arran! programme for the winter:
Walking is a great way to stay healthy and get fitter as well as being good for our mental health. If you would like to be more active, walk in company and explore Arran, joining a health walk could be the answer. The Stroll with It! programme run by North Ayrshire Council’s The Trinity Active Travel Hub in collaboration with KA Leisure’s Walking for Health Project and Arran Eco Savvy is running regular walks on Arran led by trained volunteer health walk leaders. Walks last 1 to 1.5 hours, are free, go at a gentle pace, are risk assessed and most fit in with bus times.
Places are limited with pre-booking required. Details may require to change due to Covid and weather.
