How long is the walk?

Walks are typically around 1 mile. Walking is done very slowly and mindfully so no real exertion involved, even if going up hill!

Is this event suitable for people with limited mobility?

The walk will be led slowly with plenty of resting time observing nature. However the route will be off main paths with some uphill slow walking. The terrain is likely to be uneven with the need to be mindful of any trip hazards. If you have limited mobility please consider suitability for you.
