1 Footwear For each walk either dry, wet or very wet shoes are recommended; Dry shoes are sturdy, flat and lace up. Trainers are suitable for level 1 walks but only if the weather has been dry Wet shoes are sturdy, water resistant, slip resistant, flat lace up shoes or boots Very wet shoes are walking boots Path surfaces Paths could be tarmac, gravel, stony, grass or earth. Grass and earth paths are likely to be a little uneven in places and also wet or slippery if there has been recent wet weather Please read the walk details carefully to ensure that the walk is suitable for you If you experience any problems with your back, knees, hips or are just generally a bit unsteady on your feet stick to the walks that you know are on the flat with a firm surface Weather Tendring Healthwalks will go ahead unless it is unsafe to do so i.e. strong winds, electrical storms or ice under foot Rain alone will not prevent the walk taking place Walk Levels Level 1 = This route would be on the flat, most of or all of the route would be hard surfaced. There may be a very short slope or a couple of steps. This level of walk would be open to everyone Level 2 = Part of the route would include either a grass or earth surface. There might be one/two short slopes or one longer gentle one. This level walk would require a little more effort. Most people are able to complete level 2 walks but we would advise anybody with breathing or mobility problems to try a level 1 walk first = These walks would include either a long or steep hill on a good firm surface, or are not too hilly but have a longish grass or earth path section which would be a little more difficult to walk on. Please do not come on a level 3 walk until you have tried and tested levels 1 & 2 += This walk is for those who comfortably complete a level 3 walk regularly. This walk will be physically demanding, the walking surface varies throughout as does the effort required to manage the often steep gradients. Only good walking boots are suitable for this walk, it will be important to support the ankle as the terrain will be uneven and slippery in places General Equipment Please make every effort to wear suitable/comfortable clothing. A hat & sun cream for very hot conditions is essential, the coastal walks are very exposed Opportunities On some days there will be the opportunity for those who are interested, to do a second walk usually the same one in reverse given the walk leaders on the day are happy to do so
2 General Information A thought & some facts Hippocrates said that Walking is man s best medicine. he didn t realise that thousands of years later new benefits of walking would be discovered Walking is probably the safest exercise you can do, no prior training or conditioning is required. Studies show that due to the design of our bodies, walking is more natural than sitting, standing or running. Walking is not as stressful to the body as other forms of exercise; Running is far more stressful to the heart and joints, the shock impact of a runner s steps is 3-4 times their body weight. The shock impact of a walker by comparison is far lower, only 1.5 times their body weight While walking is easier on your body it can be just as beneficial in helping you lose weight. If you run for 30 5 miles per hour you would burn approximately 285 calories, walking for 30 4 miles per hour on a level surface will burn 165 calories, 225 calories on a gentle incline and 360 calories on a steep incline Posture In order to get the most out of walking, good posture is essential. Keep your head up and your spine straight, look straight ahead. Arms and shoulders should remain relaxed Take deep regular breaths, never hold your breath Walk, don t run, to get the most out of your walk do so at a brisk pace. If you are finding it difficult to breathe you are walking too fast! Stride Try to take long, smooth, even strides. Your motion should be effortless with your arms free by your sides for improved balance Shoes Your choice of footwear can make or break a walk They should provide support and comfort to all parts of the foot Have enough room to wiggle your toes Firm support at the heel Have a flexible cushioned sole in order to aid the walking gait and absorb shock Be made of breathable material, preferably leather or fabric to allow perspiration to dissipate Clothing While there is no need to spend a lot of money a number of items will make your walk easier, safer and more enjoyable A hat is essential, 30% of body heat is lost through the head, in the summer a hat will offer vital protection from the sun s rays Loose, comfortable clothing in layers for the colder weather A waterproof jacket is essential, summer or winter Reflective products really add to your safety on those short winter days Pedometer The perfect way to enhance your walking. It s fun to know how many steps you have taken or how far you have walked A pedometer will add new motivation to your exercise and keep you focused on your goal

Turning right onto the Boundary Road walk around the perimeter of the Playing fields picking up the path that runs between the back of the Wivenhoe House hotel and a small white gatehouse. This path continues around the University grounds with beautiful lakes and lightly wooded areas. Once you come across the second white gate house bear sharply to the left almost doubling back on yourself. This will lead you between two lakes and eventually onto the road in front of the Wivenhoe House Hotel. Follow round to the right returning to Boundary Road and thus back to the footpath and start point Start Point: Car Park of the Bricklayer s Arms, Rectory Road, Little Bentley On leaving the car park, turn right onto Rectory Road and walk for several hundred yards until reaching the footpath sign on your left.

At the T junction of footpaths turn left and then right picking up a wide track. Head straight towards the large white house and farm buildings. Pass the private fishing lake on your left well hidden by hedges. Look out for a large white cottage on your right, at this point look out for the footpath sign off to the left just beyond towards Little Bentleyhall Wood. Keep to the footpath skirting the right hand perimeter of the woods eventually leading into this beautiful, peaceful, densely wooded area. At the first main footpath crossroad turn left and walk straight ahead. The path kinks to the right and again to the left leading out of the woods.

Turn right leading you back into the car park of The Ship Inn where refreshments and toilets are available. A 1.5 mile circuit consisting of footpath and even tracks. A relatively good walking surface throughout. For the level 3 walk, do not turn right at the large house, turn left & pick up the footpath again which takes you along the sea wall.

By the White Hart Public House, park along Rectory Road Turn right onto the B1441 and walk a short distance to Hilltop Nurseries, at this point cross the road & pick up the footpath directly ahead. The surface is tarmac, even & wide. You will pass a large church tucked away on the right and Hall Farm House. The road is tree lined with extensive views of open countryside. After just over a mile you will come to Weeley Lodge on your left, follow the path straight through the farm outbuilding. The track is now stony but remains wide and relatively even. Not far beyond Weeley Lodge you reach a footpath T Junction, turn right towards Weeleyhall Woods. You are now walking downhill, after about ½ a mile, at the lowest point before the path starts to go uphill again, there is a grass footpath leading off to the right, alongside a very small stream. This path turns sharply to the left leading you across a footbridge between the trees & over the stream. You emerge into a meadow. Walk straight across the middle, towards the large house, as you reach the tarmac road turn right in front of the property and then left along the clearly marked grass footpath. This path leads you through various paddocks to the left & right, a horse lovers paradise! Eventually this path leads back to the B1441, turn right & walk back to start point. Distance, slightly over 3.5 miles Start Point: Hard standing & field on your left as you turn into Warren Lane, this track is directly opposite St Osyth Priory. Continue along Warren lane which takes you across the creek. This is a wide well trodden footpath, stony in nature but quite sound. Once you reach a T Junction of footpaths turn right. This part of the walk can sometimes be quite wet weather dependent so please wear sturdy, waterproof shoes! This path leads directly into Wigborough Wick Lane, a tarmac road little used by cars but do be aware. At the end of the lane turn right into Point Clear Road, you will have to cross the road to pick up the pavement but there is a good clear view of oncoming traffic. Continue along Point Clear Road crossing St Osyth Creek, a very pretty scene with quaint tea houses, a pub and lots of hungry duck, geese and swans! Parts of the Priory date back to the 13 th Century and the building can only be described as stunning in it s architecture. It is privately owned and not accessible to the public but still worth a look from beyond The Walls. The walk is approx. 2.5 miles or slightly over. A rural walk ideal for those who enjoy the open countryside
8 The Walks - Rural Stour Estuary Nature Reserve Map Available Start Point: The reserve car park situated on the B1352 between Harwich and Manningtree We recommend that you join us for a walk through Stour Wood, it is sheltered, cool, quiet and very peaceful.
