Case Study – Josie, Cumbria

"I'm so glad I came along"

A friend encouraged me to try the Wellness Walk from Santon Bridge having see it on Facebook – I wasn’t sure what to expect – but I had a great day!

I lost my partner during covid – we used to go for walks and days out before the pandemic, I’d not realised what a big part of our lives they were. Until this week’s walk I couldn’t tell you the last time I went out. I’d lost my confidence and wasn’t sure it would feel right on my own.

Right from the start of the walk Kelvin and the others there made me feel really welcome. I sort of knew the route to the tarn – but all the forestry made it look really different and it was a surprise when we actually got there. 

I really appreciated that no-one was left behind and we all walked as a group. I’ll definitely be coming on some more walks – and I’d really like to do one of the courses one day as well. Thank you Wellness Walks.
