About
A 5 mile walk along the riverside from Houghton Mill to St Ives. Lead by Pip.
This event is for plus size people of all genders to create a safe and inclusive space. We do not set a size restriction on this, but if you are smaller than a size 18/2XL we would ask you to consider if there might be other groups that you could attend.

More info
There are toilets at the start/end of this walk by the national trust cafe. Parking is pay and display or free for national trust members. We will be going at a gentle pace that will work for everyone, and nobody will be left behind. The walk will be led with this in mind and numbers will be capped. You should bring all clothing and kit that you need for the weather - including sturdy footwear, a waterproof jacket and warm layers. Please bring any food or snacks you need for a walk of this length, and plenty of water. Our walks are all volunteer run. If your plans change and you are no longer able to attend the walk, please message Pip through Heylo so they know who to expect on the day.
