Walk and Talk

Walk-and-Talk is a calm & social walking group where people chat, walk and enjoy the great outdoors. Dogs are to be on a lead at all times. Longdale La. BOLSOVER.

𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗸 is a calm and social walking group where people chat, walk and enjoy the great outdoors. We pride ourselves on being friendly and welcoming, offering a relaxed way for people to engage in meaningful conversations. Our walks are designed to be social, fun, and free to all, while promoting physical and mental well-being.

𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆
Established in October 2020 by Mansfield CVS and our f

ounders Glenice and Alan, Walk and Talk became an independent group in January 2023. Our mission is to provide a welcoming space where people can meet new friends, stay active, and improve their mental health—all in a supportive, relaxed environment.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗪𝗲 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿
• 𝗗𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗸𝘀: Walks take place Monday to Friday, with occasional weekend and evening options. We average 350–400 walkers per month.
• 𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗩𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗲𝘀: Walks span over 70 locations, each with numerous routes, ensuring variety and inclusivity. Venues mostly are accessible by public transport and nearly all have ample parking, mainly with nearby facilities.
• 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: Most walks conclude at a café or pub, giving participants the chance to relax and socialize over refreshments. This helps foster a sense of community and encourages ongoing participation.
• 𝗙𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: No sign-ups or registration are required—simply arrive at the meeting point. Walks start at 11:00 a.m., with participants gathering from 10:30 a.m. New walkers should introduce themselves to the walk leader before mingling with the group. All walks are free of charge.
• 𝗗𝗼𝗴-𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗹𝘆:Well-behaved dogs are welcome on most walks. Owners are responsible for their pets. We occasionally walk through parks, forests, or farmland with wildlife and livestock. Please follow safety guidelines and the Country and Highway Codes
• 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆: We recommend bringing water to stay hydrated and, on longer walks, a light snack. Please wear appropriate attire, including sturdy footwear, as we walk in all weather and on varied terrain. Hiking poles or umbrellas can also be helpful. Participants are encouraged to be mindful of other walkers, runners, cyclists, and riders, especially as we often spend time chatting during walks.

𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀
Walk and Talk offers a host of benefits to the community:
• 𝗣𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵: Encouraging regular exercise in a non-competitive and approachable way.
• 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹-𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴: Promoting mindfulness, reducing isolation, and improving mood through nature and conversation.
• 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴: Creating opportunities for people to connect, foster friendships, and support one another in a safe, inclusive environment.

𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
All walks and activities are undertaken at participants' own risk. Walk and Talk cannot accept responsibility for persons who voluntarily leave the main party. If you choose to depart early, it is essential you notify the walk leader and or back-marker. As a not-for-profit group, we rely on the dedication of our volunteers to lead and organize walks and activities. We are always looking for ways to expand our services, improve accessibility, and ensure we can continue to offer this valuable resource to the community free of charge.

𝗝𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗨𝘀! Why not take this opportunity to get outside, breathe in the fresh air, and connect with like-minded individuals? Join us and experience the joy of walking and talking with a vibrant, supportive community🚶🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶 𝓚𝓮𝓷

��

# 1. **Are the walks free?**
- Yes, all walks are free.

# 2. **What time do the walks start?**
- Most walks start at 11 a.m. (unless otherwise advertised).

# 3. **How far do you walk?**
- Typically between 3 and 5 miles (unless otherwise advertised).

# 4. **How long do the walks last?**
- Walks generally last between 90 and 120 minutes, depending on the pace and stops. Occasionally, longer "Extended" walks are advertised.

# 5. **Why isn’t there a fixed duration or distance for the walks?**
- Our walks vary and adapt based on the group and the day’s conditions, so they may change at the last minute.

# 6. **Can I bring my dog?**
- Yes, well-behaved dogs are welcome, but they must be kept on a lead at all times.

# 7. **Can I bring children?**
- Yes, children are welcome, but anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

# 8. **Do the walks finish where they start?**
- Yes, unless a linear walk is specifically advertised.

# 9. **Are there stiles or other obstacles on the walk?**
- Occasionally, we may need to cross fields or navigate stiles and other barriers. Assistance is always available when needed.

# 10. **Why are the walks free?**
- We are a voluntary group. Our walk leaders offer their time freely and do not get reimbursed. Walks are free, and we don’t charge for membership or entry fees. Any costs, like insurance, are covered through fundraising events (such as quiz nights) or donations.

# 11. **How can I contact you?**
- You can reach us by:
- Clicking the 'Send Message' link on our page.
- Emailing us at **[email protected]**
- Calling us at **07467 834153**
For general questions, feel free to leave a comment, and one of our regular walkers will respond.

# 12. **Why do you not a have a WebSite?**
- We know a website would be useful, but right now we simply do not have the resources to create and maintain one. Websites require: - Time- Money - Technical and Artistic knowledge.
- These are listed in order of what is most precious to us — especially volunteer time.
- We currently use Facebook as our main platform because it is free and allows us to quickly share walk details, photos, and community updates.
- If someone cannot access Facebook, our walk programme can also be found online through Mansfield CVS, at the link they kindly provide. https://www.mansfieldcvs.org/

# 13 ** why do you not walk at weekends?**
# 14 ** why do you not have evening walks?**
- We would like to offer weekend and evening walks, and it has been known to happen. However, due to other commitments, it can be difficult to find the time, and for safety reasons we prefer to have two walk leaders on every walk. There are also plenty of other groups walking at weekends, as many of us are already members of the Ramblers and other walking and hiking groups.

# # Please remember:
- We are a not-for-profit group
- We charge nothing to take part in our walks
- We receive no funding
- Everything we do is voluntary

Helping run the group is part of a positive community service that many of us enjoy and find rewarding.

🌿 Brilliant Brambles at Blidworth Wood🌿

Well... perhaps Blistering Brambles would have been a more accurate title😄

A huge thank you to everyone who joined me today at this beautiful Forestry England woodland. 💚 More importantly, thank you all for being so patient, understanding and forgiving when the rapidly growing brambles and stinging nettles on some of the smaller trails decided they wanted to join us too🌿😅

I must apologise for not realising just how much nature had reclaimed parts of the route since my last visit. Fortunately, we all made it through with plenty of smiles, a few careful detours, and (hopefully) no serious stings or scratches.

Our planned 4½-mile walk grew into 4¾ miles, taking us 1 hour 54 minutes, but everyone looked remarkably fresh and well-hydrated at the finish. 👏💧

After crossing the road we entered Sansom Wood, which stretches south towards Burnt Stump and the country park. It's an area steeped in history for anyone who enjoys exploring. As much as I love leading our walks, I'm afraid I'm no historian or Forestry Ranger, so there are plenty of fascinating stories waiting to be discovered for yourselves. 🌳

👏 Thank you once again to each and every one of you for making today's walk such an enjoyable one despite nature throwing us a few prickly surprises.
A grateful shoutout to Iain for the photos.
🚶‍♂️ Tomorrow we head to a brand-new venue for the first of Stuart's new walks. It's around 5 miles, and Stuart is aiming to complete it in 2 hours BUT please allow a little longer because we can only walk as the slowest person. We hope many of you can come along and give him a great send-off on his latest adventure as a walk leader. 😊

Tempting Treasure on a Tuesday with Sheila 🌳🦌✈️

What a delightful two-hour stroll we enjoyed today. Sometimes the best adventures aren't the ones you plan, and today's walk proved exactly that.

Our original route was blocked and impassable, so Sheila expertly adapted the walk, taking us along part of the Lady Chatterley's Trail through the beautiful Lady Spencer Wood. It turned out to be a wonderful change of plan.

There were so many highlights along the way. The woodland scenery was stunning, we were treated to sightings of several deer, and then came the unexpected star of the show—a low-flying F-35 roaring overhead. I have to admit, the sound of its engines was even louder than one of my speeches... and that's saying something😂

A huge thank you to Sheila for leading such an enjoyable walk and for taking today's photographs. Thanks also to Rob for bringing up the rear as our backmarker and his contribution of photos. And i'm not forgetting everyone who came along and made it another great Walk and Talk outing, thanks.

Our appreciation also goes to everyone at The Young Vanish for being such wonderful hosts and serving such fantastic food. I can thoroughly recommend the beef—it was absolutely delicious😋

🚶 Tomorrow's Walk – Blidworth Woods

Tomorrow we'll be wandering through Blidworth Woods, parking in the Forestry England car park, approximately 500 metres from Papplewick Pumping Station.

📍We'll meet near the What3Words location below. If that's not convenient, simply look for the picnic tables beside the food van.

A few things to note:

✅ Free parking.
🚻 There are no toilets at the start, lots of tree and quiet spaces.
🌲 The woods are looking wonderfully alive at this time of year.
🏛️ We won't be going into Papplewick Pumping Station during the walk, but afterwards you're very welcome to explore the grounds, which are free to enter.

Depending on the weather, the walk will be between 3½ and 4½ miles, taking around two hours.

Hope you can join us for another enjoyable morning in the woods 😊

*******
📢 I managed to get our A4 July poster and July flyers delivered to Pleasley today before the walk. 😊

If anyone is out on the Wednesday or Thursday walks and will be passing Teversal or Brierley's Visitor Centre, and could pop the same posters and flyers in for us, it would save me making a separate trip. 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️

Please collect them from me when you see me, as I'll be on both the Blidworth and Shirebrook walks. Many thanks! 👍📄😊

🌿 Marvellous Mild Monday at the Dukeries🌿

What a delightful way to spend a Monday morning with another sweet and succulent stroll around the beautiful Holbeck district. Setting off in a clockwise direction, we enjoyed peaceful woodland, open countryside, and great company throughout our journey.

Today's circuit covered just under 4 miles, taking us a relaxed 1 hour 50 minutes, proving once again that it's not about racing from A to B, but enjoying every step along the way.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us today and i really appreciated the company and chat, before, during and after the walk.

Special thanks also go to Linda for topping up our sweet reserves – your generosity certainly helped keep our energy levels topped up🍬😊

After the walk, many of us resisted... well, some of us resisted... the temptation of the wonderful Dukeries Farm Shop, while others happily ventured into the café for a well-earned drink, a bite to eat, and perhaps a little retail therapy too.

Those enjoying the café and farm shop have to be impressed with the quality of the produce, it's worth every penny.

📅 We're back here again in two weeks' time (Thursday 16th) for a slightly longer 5½-mile adventure on a completely different circuit, so if you enjoyed today's walk, there's even more to look forward to.

🚶 Tomorrow however, we head to Stonehouse Pizza & Carvery GLAPWELL, for the first of two walks from this venue. We've allowed a little extra time so we can enjoy the wonderful views across the valley into Derbyshire and see the many displays and features the local community has created to help beautify the village. On our second visit, we'll explore the opposite direction, giving us two very different walks from the same starting point.

Thanks once again to everyone for making today's walk such enjoyable company. See you on the next adventure😊🥾

🌞🚶 Wandering Wisely from Warsop 🚶🌞

Today's weather certainly looked and felt scorching, with the searing sunshine making it seem as though it would be an overwhelming morning. Thankfully, Mother Nature had other ideas and provided us with a welcome cooling breeze, adding the X-Factor to our adventure... followed closely by Y and Z.

Y was for the youthful energy everyone brought along today. It was wonderful to see so many smiling faces enjoying every step of the walk.

Z was for the slightly zig-zagging path we all seemed to take at times, with a gentle stagger here and there as we negotiated the terrain🤣

Although today's walk was a shorter four-mile outing, it certainly didn't feel like hard work. The biggest challenge came courtesy of a field of potatoes, with the plants brushing against our legs and, in places, reaching waist height🥔

Around a third of our walk was spent out in the glorious sunshine, enjoying that refreshing breeze, while the remainder took us beneath the cool, shaded canopy of the woodland trees—a perfect combination on such a warm day. 🌳🍃

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us today. Your company, laughter and conversations make every walk special. We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to the Warsop Ex Servicemen's Club for their warm hospitality before and after our walk. Your refreshments are always very much appreciated. ☕🍰

Last week we took a closer look at our Cover Photo and everything it contains and links to.

This week, we're moving on to the sections below the Cover Photo, focusing on the About section and its sub-sections, Mainly the Privacy section.

Each of the screenshots (snapshots) includes a short explanation to help you understand exactly what you're looking at and where it will take you.

6 walkers joined Peter at the White Swan, Pleasley after a team meeting we decided to keep in the shade so we followed the Meden along to Pond 1 at Pleasley Mills then up onto the Archealogical Way. We headed out towards Woodhouse for 1/2 mile then turned around and followed the Archealogical Way back to Meden Square. Just under 3.5miles in 1 1/2hrs. Thanks for all who turned out, lots of talk and laughter ending in 6 of us in the Swan for liquid refreshments. Apologies from Peter for leaving the sweets in his car 🤨. There is a walk tomorrow from the Ex-Servicens club Carr Lane, Warsop...

2 of us (mad dogs and English men springs to mind!) joined Sheila for a sunny safari from the Gate Hotel. We encountered horses, a herd of cattle, fallen trees and open fields! The planned walk became slightly extended but didn't dampen our spirits. Thank you to Sheila for leading. Tomorrow's walk is from the White Swan Pleasley...

Hurry, Hurry, Hurry... I Like My Rice and Curry🍛🚶‍♂️🌳

Well, if I'm being completely honest, today's shortened walk may have had something to do with getting back to the food and drink at The Oak Tree😄 Did you really think I wanted to come out walking in an Amber Weather Warning just for the exercise?🥵

Thankfully, both Berry Hill Park and King George V Recreation Ground provided plenty of welcome shade beneath their beautiful canopy of trees. The excellent paths and gentle route made for a pleasant stroll despite the soaring temperatures.

Of course, priorities must be observed. If The Oak Tree is open, then it is our duty to ensure the food and refreshments meet the required standards! 🍺☕🍽️

A huge thank you to everyone who joined today's walk. It was great to see so many of you taking sensible precautions, keeping hydrated, applying the sunscreen, and looking after yourselves in the heat. Your wellbeing always comes first and beside that you all look good.

One of today's surprises was the local squirrels, who seemed unusually relaxed in our company. Perhaps they were finding the heat as tiring as we were and couldn't be bothered to scamper away🐿️🌞

Despite the challenging weather, it was lovely to enjoy some fresh air, good company, plenty of conversation, and a welcome opportunity to stretch our legs before returning for some well-earned refreshments. Besides that we were in the oak tree for over an hour and thanks to Karen for the sweeties which have been shared with peter.

Tomorrow we wander from the Gate Hotel Langwith. Let's hope for slightly cooler temperatures, but whatever the weather, there will undoubtedly be plenty of smiles, laughter, and friendship along the way.

Stay safe, stay hydrated, and see you tomorrow🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️💙
