Look at those stepss! On average each person in the Winter Walking Challenge did approximately 8,230 extra steps this week. Well done!
This week we visited the Waterford Arthritis Walkers. There are seven members of the walking group who meet every week at the Waterford Nature Park, Kilbarry. They find the fully accessible flat 2km route ideal for the different levels of fitness within the group. For those looking for a bit more of a cardio workout they take on one of the signposted routes over the top of the Park. Great to meet you all! 
We also checked in with the Striders and the Red Devils who are taking part in the programme through their school. Both groups are not only walking in their break time but also discussing their progress in class, putting physical activity well and truly on the agenda.
We look forward to meeting more groups next week. Keep up the good work!
