Weymouth Town Council are pleased to announce that the local Health walks will be starting again as from Monday 7th September 2020.
Over the past few weeks, as lockdown restriction began to ease, our volunteer walk leaders in Weymouth have been working behind the scenes to ensure the safe return of their weekly walks, with guidance provided by the Ramblers and the Ramblers Walking for Health national team. Since lockdown began, the walk leaders have remained in touch with some of their walkers who have been really keen to start walking again.
Jane Biscombe Weymouth Town Council clerk said “Maximising the safety of our walkers is our top priority and we are very lucky to be able to use local parks and open spaces for our walks. This ensures that social distancing can be maintained, whilst giving our walkers the opportunity to renew old friendships.”
Cllr Gill Taylor said “We are resuming our walks in September and although it will feel different because of social distancing and the limit on numbers, it will be lovely to be able to see our regular walkers, some of whom had not met up with other people for 17 weeks. We want to support our community by getting people out and about together in a safe manner, as this was highlighted as a great need whilst we were delivering the Keep in Touch project”.
Walkers must book in advance and must not attend if they or anyone in their household is displaying symptoms of Covid. To book your place please contact the bookings manager between 9am and 1pm weekdays Tel: 01305 239314 or
