Whitelee clubs
Walking is one of the best ways that we can keep fit and it's fun too!
Join the Whitelee Rangers for a short health walk on the windfarm - stretch your legs, have a natter and maybe even spot some local wildlife. The health walk is on every Tuesday morning from 10am, meeting outside the Whitelee Visitor Centre. The walk is free of charge, and there's no need to book, just turn up.
This health walk covers a distance of up to 2 miles, and lasts 45mins - 1hr at a gentle pace, with a couple of small hills to get the heart-rate up a bit. The walk is suitable for all ages and abilities, and new walkers are always welcome. Well-behaved dogs are welcome, but must be kept on a short lead for this walk.
For more information contact the Countryside Rangers.
