OKEHAMPTON Walk and Talk Group — a club of walking enthusiasts— has announced its new leaders.

Chris Baines and Richard Parsons have recently undergone a ‘Walking for Health’ walk leaders’ training course.

After completing their practical skills of shadowing a current leader, then actually leading a walk themselves, they were presented with their certificates by Joyce Nightingale, who has been with Okehampton Walk and Talk since it started.

The main walks are on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and are free to all, although some money for refreshments afterwards is recommended as the group usually go to a local café at the end of their walk.

Leaflets can be picked up at various locations throughout Okehampton.
