Keith Health Walks

Keith Health Walks We have weekly walks in and around Keith, starting at a central location. They are free to attend and we are always happy to meet new people.

A health walk is a short (30 mins - 1 hour), gentle walk led by a walk leader volunteer.

Tomorrow's walk will start from Square Roots Cafe, at 10 am. As well as good footwear, I would encourage everyone to bring water to keep hydrated!

See you tomorrow.

This week we have a Sunset Walk on Wednesday 13th August. We will leave from Split the Winds, at the path at the top of St. Rufus Park, at 7pm.
Our usual journey from this point is up Broomhill Road and on to the Green Roadies. In the unlikely event that the weather turns, there will be an alternative, pavement-based walk. But lets hope not.
This path can be a bit uneven so please ensure you wear strong and supportive footwear. We also recommend against wearing shorts as there are nettles and probably ticks. There is certainly long grass.
Take enough water for the 90-minute walk and there will be an opportunity to take on a snack.
The sun will be well past its strongest and hopefully the temperature will be coming down, but please take something to keep you warm, incase the temperature drops.
There's no charge and no booking. See you at 7!

This week's health walk will begin at 10am at Boogie Woogie. The forecast is good, but it might rain this evening, so wear good footwear!

See you tomorrow

With the wind and rain hopefully easing tomorrow, we will be going ahead with the walk.
Leaving the tennis courts on Seafield Avenue at 10:00 we will be doing the 1-hour tour of the distilleries, St. Rufus church and the Town Station.
We will be on footpaths for the walk but make sure you wear robust footwear. Take a jacket and water if needed.

Tuesday's walk starts at the Library at 10am. The weather forecast looks good, but it may still be a little wet underfoot, so please wear appropriate shoes.

See you there!

This Tuesday - 22nd July - our walk will be leaving Square Roots Cafe in Keith Square at 10:00.
Weather forecast is... meh! Hopefully dry and warm but pack a mac just in case.
If it's not too muddy we may spend a bit of the walk in the 'countryside', but that will be weather dependent. Either way, wear sound, robust footwear to protect your feet and ankles.
Lighten your load by leaving your purse at home; there is no charge. No need to book either - we don't do that.
Just turn up at 10:00 and get ready for an hour of blethering and walking.

This month's Sunset Walk leaves from the tennis courts on Seafield Avenue at 7pm on Wednesday 16th July.
It will be a leisurely, 90-minute walk around the town's distilleries and will be mainly on paths. Strong, robust footwear is always recommended.
The forecast is excellent for Wednesday evening but prepare for anything. Take plenty of water and a snack for the journey as we will pause to take refreshment en route.
There is nothing to pay and nowhere to book. Just turn up at the tennis courts and enjoy the company.

Tesco is the starting point for this Tuesday's walk - 15th July at 10:00.
The forecast is to cool down from the recent spell of Algarvian sunshine to about 20C. Ideal for walking.
The plan is to head along Balloch Road, up Edindiach Road and walk along the Green Roadies, in reverse to our normal direction.
This route will be dry but uneven. Robust, strong walking boots/shoes are highly recommended.
As it will still be quite warm and sunny, you should take along plenty of water and wear sunscreen and/or a hat.
Our walks are totally free of charge and no booking is required. Just turn up on Tuesday morning and join in the conversation.

Having now done the recce for this walk, it is important to emphasise the need for stout, grippy footwear. Although not too muddy, the pine needles, cones, twigs and roots along the walk can be very slippy. I slipped and stumbled a few times, but mainly because I wasn’t being careful enough.
Also: the path is quite overgrown in a few brief stretches. Here there are thistles, brambles, nettles and hogweed. We recommend full-length trousers and tops to avoid scratches, scrapes and possibly ticks.
On the upside, the flora and fauna are amazing. Butterflies, damsel flies, moths, thistles, foxglove and marsh orchids aplenty. Lets hope for good weather so our cameras don’t get soaked!

This Saturday - 5th July - our longer health walk leaves from Loch Park at 10am.
This will be approximately 2 hours and it is important that walkers prepare well for the walk.
Footwear - please wear robust, stiff-soled walking boots or shoes as some of the path can be stoney and uneven. Trainers, fashion shoes/boots, plimmies, sandals and baffies are definitely not recommended!
Clothing - the weather has become changeable, to say the least. Although the forecast is fair for Saturday, be sure to bring a layer or two to fend off the rain and cold, should they come.
Water and food - please take enough water with you, and a snack to eat en route. We will make occasional stops so walkers can take a drink and have some food. There may be a supply of Irn Bru pastels and some chocolate!
Travel - there is very limited parking at Loch Park and we should try to fill as few cars as possible. Just add a comment to seek a lift and I'm sure we can fill all vehicles. I have at least two spaces left in my car at time of posting.
Fees - there are none.
Booking - not required.
All done. See you Saturday morning.

Moray here. Just a reminder that we will be leaving from Split the Winds tomorrow at 10am. The forecast is for rain tonight but I am hoping that as the ground is so dry, we will still be able to walk some of the Green Roadies tomorrow. Please have suitable footwear on yer feet!
