IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT LIFEWALKS,
PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THIS BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY WALKS
information for new Lifewalkers
When you come on your first ever Lifewalk, please arrive 30 minutes before the advertised meeting time so that we
have time to register you before the start of the walk.
If you have already been sent the blue safety questionnaire, please complete this beforehand and bring it with you.
If you do not have this form, you can get one from the walk leaders when you arrive.
We will introduce you to the leaders and some of the other Lifewalkers so you will feel part of the group straight away and have someone to chat to during the walk (if you would like to).
One of our leaders will be happy to walk with you the first time you come along to help you work out what will be a
comfortable but beneficial speed for you to walk at.
Everyone walks at different speeds. So, as a newcomer, you will almost certainly find a lot of walkers disappearing off ahead of you at a much faster pace. Don't be put off by this – they will probably have been coming to Lifewalks for some time or may just be younger than you! You should not try and keep up with the fastest walkers and no-one will ask you to. You only need to walk as though you are late for an appointment.
However slow (or fast) you can walk when you first join Lifewalks, most people find they can walk more quickly
within just a few weeks.
