YOUR QUESTIONS<br />
“...There’s lots of experience in the group and everyone is delighted to help each other out.”<br />
“You might<br />
be a brand new<br />
walker or an<br />
experienced<br />
yomper. We’ve<br />
all got things to<br />
learn and enjoy<br />
from each<br />
other”<br />
WILL I FIT IN?<br />
Q<br />
WHAT ARE THE<br />
COMMUNITY RULES?<br />
Yes! Whether you want to walk<br />
for health, happiness or hula<br />
hoops; to see sights, take<br />
photos or tone your bum;<br />
pound pavements, stride<br />
mountain ranges or raise smoke<br />
from your treadmill; count<br />
every step, only those with<br />
boots or sometimes run a bit<br />
too, you are at home here. This<br />
is a quest of common cause,<br />
but it is also a celebration of<br />
our diversity of circumstance,<br />
health, experience and<br />
aptitude.<br />
The challenge community<br />
is not about conforming to<br />
any template of behaviour<br />
except mutual respect and<br />
encouragement, and the<br />
shared joy in better days<br />
through walking. You might<br />
be a brand new walker or an<br />
experienced yomper. We’ve<br />
all got things to learn and<br />
enjoy from each other.<br />
