Sunday morning walks to maintain and support wellness
Join me one Sunday a month to walk sections of the cliffs, returning where we can via lanes/cliffs, walking in silence or chatting amongst ourselves, connecting with nature, and just being present. Perhaps by the end, some might join me to walk the whole length of the cliffs!
We will aim to meet 10am (returning latest by 12pm) on the following dates:
Sunday 13 September - Bathing pools to Fermain
Sunday 4 October - Fermain to Jerbourg
Sunday 25 October - Jerbourg to Moulin Huet
Sunday 15 November - Moulin Huet to Icart
Sunday 13 December - Icart to Petit Bot
Sunday 3 January - Petit Bot to Gouffe
Sunday 31 January - Gouffe to Corbiere
Sunday 21 February - Corbiere to top of Pleinmont
£10 per session - click below to book the first session!
Please wear suitable footwear and clothing. Please bring waterproofs when needed, water and snack.
All walkers must take responsibility for their experience, being realistic about ability to partake safely.
I have always loved walking, not least because I thrive being outside in nature and moving my body, but because it also gives me the headspace to process my life experiences whether in silence or by talking to others and in this way, supporting my mental wellness.
I know only too well what happens when we lose our mental wellness. Having suffered with depression and anxiety, which took me to the very edge of life, I know that our mind can be demonic at times and walking is essential – yoga too – in keeping my mind steady and stable.
Furthermore, trekking up to Everest Base Camp and later undertaking the Three Peaks Challenge where I trekked up Ben Nevis, Scaffel Pike and Snowdonia in 24 hours for charity, also taught me that walking presents obstacles in the way of terrain and weather and can bring us increasingly into the present, strengthening our mind and deepening our positive relationship with ourself in the process.
Of course there are many benefits by way of strengthening the heart and lungs, toning the muscles, being in the present moment, enjoying the healing potential of nature, witnessing the changes in flora and fauna over the seasons, being with like-minded people, releasing endorphins, let alone the enhanced mental wellbeing.
