The Walk in the Park initiative is going ahead, albeit as a kind of pilot, or trial ‘run’. At least two committee members or volunteers will be at the meeting points. There will be options for medium paced or slower paced walks, so that everyone can walk at a pace that suits. The next three dates/places are: Mon 31 January 10.30 (start point Loch Fyne restaurant, Newhaven, Edinburgh EH6 4LP) Mon 28 February 10.30 (start point to be advised) Mon 28 March 10.30 (start point to be advised) The walks will be relatively informal. We know that Parkinson’s can put paid to the best of plans, when an ‘off day’ happens. We wanted to have an activity where people are very welcome to just turn up on the day. No need to register in advance, and worry if on the day they don’t feel able to come along. The walks are open to People with Parkinson’s and their supporters. We look forward to enjoying good company, some exercise and fresh air. Please wear suitable clothing and footwear. We will typically end the walk close to somewhere that people can go for a tea or coffee close to the park. (We will of course adhere to any current guidelines in relation to Covid-19)
