LBL’s Melanie Dawes and Clare Mackenny lead our first walk of 2024.
 
We met at the Wave Sculptures (entrance to Seaton Beach), walked along the esplanade and down to Axmouth and back finishing with delicious coffee at Pebbles Coffee Shop. The weather was beautiful and the conversation stimulating – thank you ladies!
 
If you love walking, getting outside in nature, exploring the local areas or wider region, and meeting other like-minded people, how about coming along to our weekly walks?
 
We are planning to organise 3 types of dog-friendly walks and would love anyone to volunteer to lead a walk in their area! We live in such a beautiful area, there’s such a great choice, we are very lucky!
 
The idea is to have a shorter (say up to 2 miles) morning Walk & Talk which ends in a coffee shop/cafe every other week, on a rolling schedule of days throughout out the week to allow those with other morning commitments to be able to join.
 
On the opposite weeks, we will have a longer walk (say up to 8 miles) which will involve taking a packed lunch and will take approx 4 hours to allow us to go and explore the region.
 
Then also a monthly weekend circular walk to include partners and a pub lunch.
 
We (Clare Mackenney from ‘Flip Flops or Wellies’ & Mel Dawes) will be starting the LBL Walking Group but we would really like to have others join us in arranging the weekly walks to keep the momentum going and spread the effort. Or if you rather just suggest walks you enjoy, please let us know.
Please note: we are not qualified walk leaders, we just love walking and exploring and meeting other people; therefore everyone who comes along is responsible for their own decisions regarding fitness, clothing, water, safety, etc. We will ensure that we pace the walks to include everyone attending – no one will be left behind! Mel & Clare
