Goring Gap Health Walks welcome you to their Web site  

This web site was last updated on 03 May 2008

Our goal is to provide you with useful information about our Health Walking group, the area in which we walk and walk related links

Goring Gap Health Walks are part of a UK wide Walking for Health Initiative and one of the most successful fully independent WHI groups in the country. There are more than 350 other groups all over the country. (see links to find the comprehensive WHI web site and walk finder)

We are now a WHI Accredited Scheme. See Latest News page for more details

Please go to Latest News for the most up to date information about our activities, Timetable for the current details of when we walk and where we meet or Leaders Rosters if you want to know who is leading a walk.

New walkers should look at Which Walk? to determine the best walk to start them off. There is a page called Fitness Formulas for those that want to know what their limits are!

We welcome new regular walkers at all levels. Visitors to the area are very welcome to walk with us, even if it is only once
