Equals IW Friends and Family Group recently came together to enjoy a round trip walk in Ryde.
They had the opportunity on this walk to get up close to nature by feeding the wild bird life at Ryde Canoe Lake.
Group members then took a gentle walk through Appley Park, viewing the magnificent Scots Pine trees, and explored the ancient woodland trail to find the Appley Park Picture Frame.
Friends then walked along the seawall to appreciate the spectacular views of the Solent, Spinnaker Tower, Spitbank, Horse Sand and No Man’s Forts, and Paulsgrove Hill Cliffs.
After walking on into Puckpool Park Mark shared the history of this fort and barracks and the role it played during wartime.
Refreshments were welcomed by all at the café in Puckpool Park before the group walked back along the golden sands and shoreline of Appley Beach.
They covered four miles with 9,250 steps and that enabled 390 Kcal to be burnt.
Green Time, enhancing friendship, positive emotional well-being and mental health, self-confidence and self-esteem.
