Last updated 30 July 2008
The Durham and Chester-le-Street Lifestyle Initiative supported by the Primary Care Trust, and aided by the Footsteps to Fitness walk volunteers has created a series of walks designed to increase the level of physical activity in the local community.
Our walks
Footsteps to Fitness is a programme of moderate guided walks designed as an introduction to waking for health, which vary in length between 3 and 6 miles and are suitable for most fitness levels. The walks take place twice monthly on Sunday morning from March to November.
In addition, there is also the Next Steps walks programme, which offers easy to moderate guided walks - between 3 to 4.5 miles in length - every Wednesday morning from March to October.
