Details: Please contact Sini on 07586 717228 or Sini.Lucas@minsteadtrust.org.uk to register and to be informed of any changes. We meet on the green opposite Old Mill Tea Rooms (BH23 1BY) on Christchurch Quay, between 12pm and 12.15pm and will then go for a slow walk and chat around a wheelchair accessible route for approximately an hour (max), stopping when we need to. Do bring a drink with you. We will then walk back to the Old Mill Tea Room and those wish can join in the café for a rest and a free hot drink after the walk. Please note all participants are responsible for their own family members who may join on the walk. Event is weather permitting, but a light drizzle won’t stop the event. Please note parking fees may apply at nearby car parks.
