Easy paced, small group, social walk and talk for a couple of hours along the beach from the Beachcomber cafe. We will head South towards the pier and perhaps beyond and into the nature reserve, depending on pace on the day we will see how far we get before turning back to return to the Beachcomber for a cuppa for anyone who wishes to.

Walk Leader - Sarah

Not only is Sarah a qualified Lowland Leader and qualified in First Aid for Mental Health and Outdoor First Aid, but she is also a registered Counsellor so you can be sure that your wellbeing will be a priority. 

Sarah loves walking around hills, woodlands and rivers and enjoying the sights and sounds of nature.  Sarah believes that a walk often brings a helpful sense of perspective and balance to the stresses of life and hopes to share these benefits with others. 

Being an avid Wainwrights bagger Sarah tells us that her favourite place to walk is in the quieter Far Eastern Fells for the big views and real sense of being away from it all.  Closer to home Sarah enjoys exploring locally around Manchester, Stockport and into the Peak District and looks forward to guiding you some on surprisingly beautiful and interesting walks not too far from the doorstep!

Informed Consent - we want you to know what risk is involved

While we take every precaution to ensure your safety on our walks (physically, psychologically and emotionally), all outdoor activities involve an inherent and unavoidable risk of an accident occurring that could lead to personal injury. All of our Walk Leaders are qualified in First Aid and carry emergency equipment to deal with emergencies. Walk Leaders are also trained to dynamically alter the route or plan for the day based on numerous potential factors - any decision to do so is fully authorised and expected by Wellness Walks. All participants should take an active role in minimising risks - so if you have a concern please speak up, if you feel unwell or unable to continue tell the leader.

  • Lowland Walks

    These walks will follow paths, trails and lanes that are clearly visible on both the ground and the map (with the exception of very minor alterations). The risk on these walks  is low - but traffic, waterways and other hazards may still be encountered.

    Participants are required to read the walk description and kit list and may not be allowed to take part on the walk if they do not have suitable clothing or footwear.

Sharing is caring!
