We were delighted to see such a great turnout for the second walk in the Walk for Life series, a series of five leisure walks across Waterford over the coming weeks for over 50’s and people with a disability. Despite the blustery morning, fifty two leisure walkers enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the Anne Valley in Dunhill. Highlights of the walk included views of the castle, the magnificent wildlife and walkers returning to their childhood with the numerous fairy doors along the 4.4km route.On completion of the walk, everybody enjoyed the hospitality at Dunhill Enterprise Centre for tea, coffee and scones.The five week series organised by Waterford Sports Partnership includes walks on the Waterford Greenway Shanacool (Durrow), Anne Valley (Dunhill), Clonea Beach (Dungarvan), Tramore Bay and Lismore Towers and gives older adults and disability groups a chance to get out and get active whilst enjoying the beautiful Waterford countryside. The series of walks are suitable for leisure walkers; however we do advise you to check the accessibility of walks with us in advance. All you need is suitable walking shoes (runners are ideal) and suitable clothing for the weather.
Our fourth walk will take place on Tuesday 7th March at 10.30am in Tramore. The 4km walk will cover the route of the Tramore parkrun with magnificent views along the coastline but please be aware that this walk is uneven and gravelly in parts.
The meeting point in Tramore is the promenade closest to Dooly’s chip shop at 10.30am. Walkers will need suitable walking shoes (runners are ideal), warm clothing and a waterproof jacket.
COST PER WALK: €3 (INCL. TEA/COFFEE/SCONE) - PLEASE PRE REGISTER
