"...where never is heard a discouraging word; and the skies are not cloudy all day."
These words from "Home on the Range" are exactly what the LVSA Walking Club is all about. As volunteer leader Del says: "we have a great time walking, talking and laughing together".
Getting exercise in the fresh air with friends is " very therapeutic for all of us" no matter what the level of ability.
Everyone starts out together and soon the various levels sort themselves out.
There are those who have to sit awhile but they soon catch up with the rest.
There's always something interesting to see. This day took the walkers down to the waterfront along a new trail. The view is wonderful!
The group heads out on forest trails or city sidewalks every Wednesday morning. They always come back to Mollie Nye House to share coffee and goodies which they deserve after a morning's walk. On the last Wednesday of each month, the group finds a place to have lunch before heading back.
This was the end of the waterfront trail which led them to Lonsdale Quay (about a 6 mile walk) where you can eat almost anything you can imagine. Those soups look tasty!
Del makes sure that everyone has a great experience. She inspires a positive attitude in what she thinks of as 'her' group. There's always room for one more walker...maybe it's you?
