There’s a new group for women who like to walk.
In October, a Grenville resident started “Walking Ladies / Dames en marche,” a walking group for women in the area. In just over two weeks, it has grown to over more than members.
The idea is simple: meet after lunch for a walk at an easy pace. No pressure, no competition, no fees. Everyone walks at her own pace and can turn back whenever she likes. Walks take place in turn on the Prescott-Russell Trail, on trails in Grenville and on the forest trail in L’Orignal. The group is bilingual, and women of all ages and fitness levels are welcome.
Beyond the kilometres, it’s above all a wonderful human adventure. Many met for the first time on the trail and have already formed friendships. Some come to get moving again, others to discover places close to home, and many simply for company rather than walking alone.
Women who are interested can search for the Facebook group “Walking Ladies / Dames en marche” and request to join, free of charge.
