‘Retford Step 2 It’ is a friendly, self-funded, independent walking group offering free guided walks, led by trained walk leaders, to help people stay active in the company of others. The group meets at Babworth Road Sports and Social Club on Tuesdays for a prompt 10.00am start.
Four different walks are offered each week, taking place in all weather conditions. The walks are planned to match all abilities, ranging from the ‘Basic’ walk of 1.5 to 2.5 miles to the ‘Challenger’ walk, which can be up to seven miles.
During the summer months, a programme of evening walks is also available. These start from Babworth Road Sports and Social Club and will recommence on Wednesday 16th April at 6.30pm. The evening walk is usually around five miles and takes approximately 1 hour 45 minutes to complete. All walks are open to new members, so those interested in a pleasant walk around the Retford area are encouraged to give it a try.
The committee also organises various social events throughout the year, including excursions and a festive lunch.
These walks would not be possible without the generous support of the committee at Babworth Road Sports and Social Club, to whom the group extends its thanks. Appreciation is also given to all volunteers who make these walks and social events happen.
