What we're about
GET OUT and GET FIT AGAIN AFTER LOCKDOWN.
THIS GROUP IS FREE TO JOIN.
COVID 19 - SOCIAL DISTANCING and mitigation factors will apply to all walks.
These walks are 'outdoor organised events for sports and physical activity'. All walks are fully dispersed at all times.
Do you like to BREATHE FRESH AIR? Do you want to IMPROVE YOUR FITNESS LEVELS? Do you like GREEN WALKS in the COUNTRYSIDE? Do you prefer walks in PARKS by LAKES, CANALS, RIVERS, rather than through busy city streets?
Do you want to see new SECRET PLACES in London, places that you might not otherwise have reason to visit?
If you answered YES to any of the above then this group is the right one for you.
EVERYONE IS WELCOME TO JOIN KEN'S WALKS, a friendly group of walkers (Over 21,000 Members) mainly featuring WALKS in all the green parts of London (in places you have probably never heard of) and surrounding countryside. Change your life (physical health and mental health) dramatically for the better!!
