Hertfordshire Health Walks - September - December
First Steps walks
First Steps walks are for people who are returning from illness and injury and those who haven’t been physically active in a while. The free walks are on flat, smooth paths and are led by qualified volunteers.
Walk grades
All of our timetables are marked with a walk grade. This way you can make sure it suits your abilities. Walks graded 3 and above are aspirational/progression walks.
