Women only walk.
This Girl Can research found that almost three-quarters (72%) of women in the UK change their outdoor activity routines during winter.
The data also shone a light on the precautions women take to stay safe when getting active outdoors after the clocks have gone back. One in four (24%) said they prioritise well-lit routes, almost a quarter (23%) avoid certain areas altogether, and one in five (20%) glance behind them to ensure they’re not being followed.
Join us and show that women shouldn’t have to change their behaviour to stay safe; society should change the behaviours that make them feel unsafe. The more of us that speak out, and show up, the harder it is to ignore.
Our walk may take up to an hour and a half.
There is parking at the Leisure Centre and at Park Lane.
Please bring head torches, or body torches, if you have them, sensible footwear, appropriate clothing and perhaps some water to drink.
We will have trained leaders to help us on our way.
