Petrus Striding Forward Walking Group - Wheels & Walks are free, 2-hour local walks in Rochdale to help people have access to, and connect with nature, improve health and boost wellbeing. We use feet and public transport to explore lovely, wilder areas in Rochdale. We meet at PIER Bellfield Road OL16 2UP - meet outside the garden which is in the carpark of Croft Shifa Surgery. Just turn-up or contact Kim or Petrus. The service is hosted by Petrus, a homeless service in Rochdale and the walking group is part of Active Travel https://beeactive.tfgm.com/greater-manchesters-active-travel-mission/ which aims to encourage people to walk, cycle and use public transport more. The walking group is open to anyone who would like to join us. The walks are set at an easy pace, with plenty of time to enjoy the experience, have a chat, appreciate nature and the surroundings. Participants can be provided with outdoor wear after they gave attended two or more walks. There is also the opportunity to Train as a Walk Leader and gain a nationally-recognised qualification.
