You will gain a sense of satisfaction of watching someone improve their walking ability and be able to walk further and faster. "We have a great group of leaders and walkers at Bushey and all feel the benefit of our health walks. Another bonus from these walks are the little invisible support groups who offer help or sympathy where needed."
