FitSteps offers guided walks along safe town, park and country routes.
The walksare led by trained volunteers, equipped with mobile phones and
first aid packs. The weekly walks vary in distance between one and three
miles and are suitablefor all abilities. Afterward, you can finish with a cup
of tea and a chat. It will giveyou a chance to relax, unwind and meet new
people while getting healthier.

Starter walks

These weekly walks are intended for those FitSteps members who, for
various reasons, are only able to participate in walks of up to 1.0 mile,
on flat footpaths and pavements. The walks are led by a small team of
dedicated, WHI trained volunteers, whose aim is to help our members
improve their fitness and move up to the next level of health walks.

Tiptree Heath walks

These weekly walks, preceded by a short warm up, may be divided in up
to 4 parts, ranging from 0.5 mile to 3.0 miles in length and are suitable
for a variety of fitness levels. They follow an established route around the
Heath, concluding with refreshments at a local hostelry, a short drive away.

Summer evening walks

These weekly walks are intended for walkers who have attained an
improved level of fitness and can now manage more challenging country
routes, at a slightly faster pace. The walks, led by a WHI trained volunteer,
vary between 2.5 and 3.5 miles and may have a car sharing element.
