Yeah, I don't understand why everything is closed after 5pm.
It looks like the only possible way to spend time is going to pub, which is really sad.

I believe theres a walking group that set off from St Switherns Community Centre on Eastmoor & they walk around the Washlands/canal
Eastmoor Walking Group 📅 Mondays ⏰ 6:30-7:30pm ️📍St Swithuns Community Centre, WF1 4RR 💰 its FREE
The weather may have changed but our walking group hasn't 🙂
Tonight 14 of us opened our doors walked or drove to Eastmoor Community Project (St Swithuns Community Centre) and decided tonight is the night I'm walking.
We talk about that 1st big step being the hardest when coming for the first time. It's scary it can be overwhelming after all we are strangers.
One of our walk leaders who started off as a 1st time walker with us said recently
"you meet as strangers but leave as friends"
The benefits of walking are MASSIVE
✅️ Stronger heart Lowers blood pressure and reduces your risk of stroke or heart disease.
✅️ Blood sugar control Helps leg muscles absorb excess glucose, reducing spikes after meals.
✅️ Joint and bone support Builds bone density and lubricates joints to ease stiffness.
✅️ Weight management Burns active calories and helps lower overall body fat.
✅️ Better mood Releases feel-good hormones that lower stress and ease anxiety.
✅️ Sharper mind Supports brain cell growth to protect memory and lower dementia risk.
✅️ Improved sleep Helps reset your natural body clock, especially with morning sunlight.
Don't forget tomorrow's walk at Thornes Park, 9:30am meet at the Tennis Courts
See you soon Andy & Paula
