Walking group celebrates successful first meet in Pinchbeck

Walkers enjoyed a fresh autumn stroll and hearty breakfast at the first meet-up of a new community group.

In a bid to help others boost their fitness and wellbeing, Cath Carter of Holbeach organised a new monthly event in Pinchbeck, which started on Sunday (October 26).

The business owner, who has an online shop selling beauty products has joined forces with catering business, A Country Kitchen on Enterprise Park, to launch ‘Walkie Talkie’.

At about 8am, on Sunday, walkers followed a route into Pinchbeck and did around 8,700 steps in one hour and ten minutes, before returning to the meeting point at the cafe for a hearty breakfast.

Organiser Cath Carter said: “The weather was perfect, it was chilly but we had a beautiful morning.

“It set people up for their week and everyone loved the food at the cafe – it was delicious.

“We’re hoping to see the numbers increase for the next one.”

Cath organises a similar group in Holbeach, which has become a popular way for residents to meet new people and get their steps in.

Alongside this, she hosts live workout videos on her Facebook page – which has an online community of 55,000 followers.

The Walkie Talkie group is open for anyone and is set to take place on the last Sunday of each month.
